We got involved with an interesting project to letterpress a copper engraving by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Ferlinghetti is an American poet and painter best known for A Coney Island of the Mind, a collection of poems that has been translated into nine languages, with sales over 1,000,000 copies.

The project came to us from letterpress friend Bill Roberts of Bottle of Smoke Press. In the edition of 20 we printed the plate in four different colors for Ferlinghetti who will sign the edition. The prints will be sold to support a publisher in San Francisco.

And here is a photo of Lawrence signing the prints.
