The back of the card includes an image of a Washington hand press and the words “Printed at the Sacramento History Museum.” This card and other cards are available in our Museum Store! This was letterpress printed in a mix of rhodamine red and opaque white rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. #valentinesday #valentinecards #valentine #greetingcard #typography #art #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #letterpress #asmr #printing
