25 Untranslatable Words typography print

From Quickeningforce

This lovely original hand-pulled letterpress poster was printed on in indigo on reclaimed paper. The delicious type was hand set in lead - quite a feat! - and printed individually on a Vandercook in celebration of both the printer's 25th birthday, and of the beauty of language.

It features 25 words that are difficult to translate outside of their original language. The definitions of these can be seen here: http://quickeningforce.blogspot.com/2011/02/25-years-25-words.html

Dimensions are 7" horizontally x 6 3/8" vertically. Due to the letterpress printing process, prints vary. This print makes a wonderful gift!
