Letterpress at BCU Parkside



I spent the day at BCU's Parkside campus where the letterpress collection is kept. I wanted to combine my latest wood engravings with some simple typography. I decided to produce a small edition of each print that could potentially be sold at Moseley Dovecote to raise some funds for the garden. I used 24 point Baskerville, a typeface designed by Birmingham master printer John Baskerville in 1757. I felt this would be appropriate for the 18th century Dovecote.
