A limited edition print is being offered for your
help.
http://www.centerforbookarts.org/pressrepair1.html
Please take a look at
the web page about this project, and if you can help in any way
to make this press, which is capable of gorgeous impressions,
available to artists for the production of new works, it will be
much appreciated.
The Center for Book Arts, located in midtown New York City,
is planning to offer classes and rental time on its large
Washington hand press (R. Hoe & Co. #5703). The platen is 22"
x 30" and the tympan will handle a sheet of paper about four
inches larger in each dimension.
Right now there is no frisket, and the tympan frame is a wooden
one made as a temporary replacement many years ago.
If you would like to help out with a donation, the Center is
offering a limited edition print (broadside) that will be made on
the press when the repairs are complete. The multicolor print
will incorporate selections from the Center's recently acquired
collection of wood type, and will be designed and produced as a
collaboration between myself and the Center's Master Printer,
Barbara Henry.
