@sachistorymuseum: We hope you your day is full of color because September 14th is apparently National Coloring Day! For today, Channey letterpress printed an electrotype, made about 130-135 years ago, from the Lewis Winter Collection. The print depicts a young individual painting some artwork and doing some coloring. Unlike all our colorful prints recently, this was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. Lewis Winter was a woodcut artist and engraver, who had his business at 627 J Street from 1888 to 1910. After closing his business, he would go on to teach art at Sacramento High School until 1925. Lewis Winter passed away in January 1930. The Lewis Winter Collection was donated to the Center for Sacramento History in 2000 by Bill Gaylord, a former museum docent at the Sacramento History Museum. Within the collection are boxes of woodcuts, electrotypes, and halftones made 120 to 140 years ago that we print for some of our videos. #SacHistoryMuseum #coloring #art #printing #museumtok
