Fresh Off the Press: 100th Anniversary Vandercook Model
by admin on Oct.07, 2009, under Book Arts, Letterpress, Printing
Here are some photos from the 100th Anniversary Vandercook Model project, which we recently completed. It was printed on Strathmore Writing Wove, Bright White, 110 lb. paper as a 3-color offset (including a slick metallic PMS 877 silver), followed by a letterpress pass to reinforce the scores and outlines. Finally, we die-cut the various model shapes so they pop out for easy construction!
Kudos to everyone who has donated their time, energy and resources into making this little model possible! We’d especially like to thank:
- Shirley Edwards for the model design
- Pacific Center for the Book Arts for publishing the model
- Fritz Klinke of NA Graphics for his permission to use the Vandercook logo
- Book Club of California, who is making the model as a keepsake for their members
- The American Printing History Association and the Gleeson Library of the University of San Francisco for their support throughout the project
