@sachistorymuseum: To keep your nose to the grindstone means to work hard and focus on the task at hand. We don’t know what this print is trying to communicate though. This fits for October as we’ve been highlighting the odd and strange cuts in our print shop as we lead up to Halloween. We don’t know why Lewis Winter made this electrotype (copy of a woodcut) roughly 130 years ago, but it is certainly one of the stranger and absurd cuts in that collection. The image depicts two young individuals messing with a sharpening stone where one is grinding his backside. The horse in the background looks perplexed. In this video, Jared letterpress printed a copy with green rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. Fifty copies were made on this press run. This print is part of a bundle of prints in our museum store! #SacHistoryMuseum #museum #sacramento #history #letterpress #printingpress #printing #asmr #green #grindstone #printmaking #oldsacramento
