"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense" from Alice in Wonderland. This is one of the posters in a series I recently created for a holiday window display for a store on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin.

The print was created using antique wood type from the early 1900s and green ink. The wood type (wooden letters) is hand-set on my mid 20th century printing press and inked with a brayer. Then each sheet of paper is pulled throught the press, one at a time, to create a perfectly imperfect print. The medium weight paper is acid-free and measures 11” x 17”.
Each print varies due to the nature of the letterpress process. Ink impression on the piece you receive may differ slightly from the picture, but each is unique and beautiful.
Please note, the frame is NOT included in this listing.
This piece was printed on my Showcard Model B press. Each poster is signed on the back.
