Designer Josef Beery: “These broadsides are printed one at a time from hand-set metal type (not the plastic plates used for most letterpress these days) and that my press is a small cottage industry in the mountains of Virginia. The paper is Rives, which is a French mould-made artist’s printmaking paper made of 100% cotton. I tear the paper down from large sheets and then print them on a handpress one at a time, each broadside requiring two passes through the press.
