My camera was misplaced for the longest while, but I have been needing to document my latest project, the reassemblage of a Chandler & Price 10x15 Platen Press at the Copper Palate Press. Although the plan is to eventually be making photopolymer plates, I couldn't help tracking down some type on ebay to get started. And what better typeface to begin my collection than my much adored Franklin Gothic. This is 24pt. It arrived today and I can't wait to start printing.
I'll be getting more pictures of the press together soon. I'm waiting for a foot treadle to arrive before the bed of the press can be attached to the base. Getting ready to order new rollers and I'm slowly acquiring all the other miscellaneous equipment to get all kinds of great letterpress projects underway. Get ready!
