This website explores the lives and careers of letterpress printers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. The site is my typographic celebration of a unique place, and its people.
…Cloistered, celibate printers at the Ephrata Cloister in the 1740s.
…Hot-headed, colonial printers.
…Printers’ apprentices become media moguls.
…The most successful American woman printer of the 1800s.
…and lots of Amish and Mennonite letterpress history:
(To help reclaim Germanic, Fraktur fonts for my Amish grandparents.)
