Letterpress La Vie en Rose Poster. 11 x 14.

Description

Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf. My mother's garden. Louis Armstrong. My grandmother's collection of antique botanical engravings...These are my inspirations.

"La vie en rose" roughly translates to the English language expression, "seeing the world through rose tinted glasses". Not a bad way to live, I say.

+ Letterpress printed in Rose (pink) and Cabbage (green) soy based ink.
+ 100% cotton heavyweight paper made from recovered fibers from the garment industry.
+ Slipped into a cellophane bag for protection.
+ Size: 11 x 14". (standard size for framing)
+ Shipped between 3 pieces of heavy cardboard with USPS Priority Mail for domestic addresses and First Class for international addresses.
+ Hand drawn by Eva Jorgensen for {Folk} by Sycamore Street Press

We hand crank these one at a time, one color at a time through our vintage Vandercook letterpress which gives them a gorgeous texture and impression you can see and feel.

Although we pay careful attention to quality and detail, small variations in color, impression, and registration are a part of this handmade process, and a part of what gives letterpress its distinction and charm.

Wholesale, bulk, and custom inquiries welcome.
