"Columbine" - Wendy Shaft Block Printed Images

The Wendy Shaft Block Printed card line was retired in 2013 due to circumstances beyond our control.   These images are relief printed from 3 block hand carved blocks, in succession and are NOT reproductions.  Each has variations as they were done in small runs on a Miehle Vertical Letterpress. They are available only as matted prints.

A letterpress, a machine that precedes offset printing and digital output, was developed in 15^th century by Johannes Gutenberg, using movable type, hand-carved blocks with a screw press.

Image Size: 5" by 7", Presentation: 8" by 10" cream matt.
