Letterpress Billboard

Letterpress printed posters celebrating the local businesses of St Philip’s Marsh in Bristol being pasted up for Bristol Open Doors 2021.

This has been a lovely public art project in collaboration with Pete Insole and Nat Roberton from Bristol City Council to give a Victorian makeover to local businesses in the area. Using the finest of our wood type collection and engraved blocks each poster has been printed on a range of gorgeous GF Smith colours using the FAG Swiss Proof 40 press.

We love that the type and blocks we have used would have been used for just this purpose at some point in the past. We couldn’t be prouder to be part of this project.
