July 11th is National Swimming Pool Day! It is a day to go recreate and cool off at a pool, which is a great way to combat Sacramento’s summer heat.

For today, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) of a woman diving in to a pool. This cut comes from our miscellaneous collections. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.
