Hot off The Press!

Take a look at some of the work our printers have been doing for the
W. Grieve Brewery.

Each piece was hand set here in the village by one of our talented printers using antique type and printing press.

    These look great! As I type this on my computer, I can only imagine how much work would go into setting the type for one of these ads, much less a newspaper or a book! Amazing!

    Please see our post on our printing press for a good idea of how long it took to set something longer than an ad! The rules for the Romulus Female Seminary took our printer 12-16 hours to do!
