July 16th is World Snake Day! This day is a global awareness observance dedicated to appreciating and understanding the diversity, preservation, and ecological importance of snakes.

For today, Channey letterpress printed a linoleum cut of a snake that was used for our 2025 Lunar New Year event at the Sacramento History Museum for the Year of the Snake. This linocut was engraved by a colleague who works with Channey at her other job. This was printed with red rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

March 23rd is National Puppy Day! We actually have quite a few letterpress cuts of dogs to choose from in our print shop exhibit but none are of a puppy.

For today, Jared letterpress printed two examples of dogs that were made 130 years apart. The print on the left is from an electrotype, a copy of a woodcut, that was made by Lewis Winter at his engraving office at 627 J Street in Sacramento in the 1890s. The print on the left is from a linoleum cut and depicts his two year old basset hound named Jethro. This was carved by a colleague (@theresasaurus_press) at his other job. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.

We have been preparing a wide variety of letterpress printed greeting cards to have available in our museum store and website. Known also as the “Festival of Lights,” we have a Hanukkah card to add to our collection of holiday cards available in our museum store.

In this video, Jared shows the letterpress printing process to print the card. The phrase, “Happy Hanukkah!” was typeset with 24 point Caslon font. The image of a menorah is from a linoleum cut made by a local linocut artist and colleague (@theresasaurus_press) of
Jared at his other job. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press.

This weekend is Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It is an important Mexican and Central American celebration that consists of elements from ancient Mesoamerican cultures and Catholic influence. It is a festival to welcome the souls of loved ones who have passed away and is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.

In Hispanic culture, it is believed that during this time souls visit the world of the living, so altars are prepared with offerings in honor of loved ones at home and/or at the gravesites of the deceased.

At the Sacramento History Museum, in partnership with community arts group La Raza Galeria Posada (LRGP), we have a temporary exhibition titled, RCAF in Mictlán: 50th Anniversary of Día de los Muertos.

The specially curated and culturally significant exhibition about Sacramento’s first Dia de los Muertos in 1975 and the involvement by the Royal Chicano Air Force will be on display in the R. Burnett and Mimi Glide Miller Gallery at the Museum NOW through April 5, 2026.

In this video, Jared letterpress printed a linoleum cut that was designed by a colleague of his at other place of employment (@theresasaurus_press). The print depicts some marigold flowers, which are a key part of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations and ofrendas. They are used to guide the souls of the dead. You can pick up a free print this weekend (while prints last). This was printed with black rubber base ink using a 4x6 Golding Official No. 2 tabletop printing press.

Throughout the month of October, we have been letterpress printing in our print shop at the Sacramento History Museum with pink ink. In this video, Jared printed a linoleum cut that was designed by a colleague of his at other place of employment.

The print depicts a desert scene with a large cactus. This was a test print to see how it looks so far. This was printed with pink oil base ink using a Washington hand press.

Due to the demand for prints, we needed to make more copies of Le Poisson Steve.

The linocut was made by Jared’s colleague (@theresasaurus_press) from his other job and the text above, “Le Poisson Steve,” was typeset in 24 point Caslon. This was printed on orange paper with black rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. Thirty copies were made on this press run.
