For the 108th Indianapolis 500 today, May 26th, Howard letterpress printed a hand carved woodcut from the Lewis Winter Collection. This woodcut was made about 125-130 years ago. This is the closest thing in our print shop exhibit at the Sacramento History Museum to checkered flags.
The text below reads “Indy 500” and was typeset in 24 point Caslon font. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. We hope you enjoy the race at the Brickyard today!
