In a recent discovery of family photographs we came across this letterpressed / foil stamped card from the Australian Memorial Card Company.

The border and basic elements of the card appear to be foil stamped. The text relevant to Eliza Miller clearly has been printed by a relief printing method, but the gold color is not as bright a metallic. The piece is in excellent shape given that it is from 1905.

The photo has been cut out and adhered to the surface of the card.

Anyone know anything of the company that produced the card or how they might have produced it? Linotype the personal elements? Can you foil stamp this so easily that you could produce one-off cards like this?

The card is 8.75″ x 11″. There is a close-up below.

Not exactly a letterpress post, except that Lead Graffiti was out in force to support the President and Vice President elect as the Inaugural Train sped through Delaware. Given that they were reenacting the Abraham Lincoln train trip, this was pretty much the same as Lincoln’s as Lincoln didn’t stop in Delaware (we know they stopped in Wilmington, but we really care about Newark) because it was a slave state.

The figure in the foreground is Lead Graffiti’s director of technology, Tray Nichols.

The inaugural train event turned out to be a bit disappointing. Apparently the Obama-Biden team spent too much time in Wilmington and were speeding to catch up to the schedule. They passed through at about 50 mph. Given the speed of the train we were pretty amazed to get the photo that we did. It was split second timing to even get the train in the picture.

Nicely Joe Biden was on back with Jill waving to the crowd. I’m not positive the guy on the left was Barak Obama, but then I was looking through the camera. Maybe someone else can say for sure it was him.

Too bad given Joe Biden’s connection to the University of Delaware and Newark that they didn’t slow down. Oh, well.

Here is the photo from Lead Graffiti friend, Rebecca Johnson Melvin who was about 200 feet farther down the track.

Where did that guy on the left come from a mere 2 seconds later?

And while we are doing it, here is another of Rebecca’s photo from Joe Biden’s visit to the University of Delaware on October 31st. Nice shot.

THE PRESS

Serial Number: 5331 / R. Hoe & Co.

Manufacture date: 1869

Platen: 25″ x 38″.

We drove to Portland, Maine and picked up this R. Hoe & Co. iron handpress on Sunday, August 5. Along the way we had a nice half day stop at the Printing Museum in Andover, MA. If you have any interest in letterpress you need to find a way to get there for a couple of hours.

Now we need to get a tympan & frisket made.

. . .

THE BABY

Name: Attie Blu Nichols Langley

Parents: Terre Nichols / Marc Langley

Born: Sunday, July 22, 2007

Weight: 7 pounds 15 ounces

Height: 1 foot 9 inches

Jill and I traveled to New York City for our impending granddaughter Attie Blu’s baby shower.

Here is a photo of the impending parents.

The evening was great with about 70 of Marc and Terre’s friends there.

Terre’s mom and mom’s sister Nancy unexpectedly flew in from Florida which added a nice flow of tears to start off the evening. Presents piled up everywhere. Our gifts were Attie Blu thank you cards and AttieBlu.com. Food and drink was abundant and a good time was had by all. Just for the record this photo was taken about 5:30 am the morning after the party.

Bridge issue…

On the drive up to New York we were just ready to start across the Delaware Memorial Bridge and drove under a sign that we’ve seen dozens of time but never much thought about. The sign said something to the effect that if you felt a lot of stress and pressure you could call … and it gave a number. We were discussing the sign as we drove up the bridge and Jill figure out that it was probably to get people to NOT STOP ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE AND JUMP.

Hmmm.

So this started a question. So let’s say you were planning to jump, drove to the top, got out your cell phone, called the number, climbed up on top of the railing, and got a “Please hold” message and music came on. What is the worst song you could imagine. I was thinking Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man’

. . . And i think it’s gonna be a long long time
. . . Till touch down brings me round again to find
. . . I’m not the man they think i am at home
. . . Oh no no no i’m a rocket man

And then the type of the trip …

We walked by this type about five floors up the side of a building (I’ve adjusted the perspective with Photoshop) while headed to Buggy’s for breakfast. We love playing with punctuation and are currently working on a series of cards where you add punctuation inside of a word to change its meaning, but that is for a later post.

Check out the “Manufac’g” as an abbreviation. Pretty cool. But then check out how ugly that F is along with the letterpsacing between it and the A. Wow.

And then the ampersand looks like something from ‘American Typewriter’ slammed in there.

Nice trip.
