Handover Letterpress Prints

Handover Letterpress Prints are a limited run of prints made from original 1940s catalogue printing plates discovered by our brush maker. Expertly printed for us by New North Press, these three prints were created using the original blocks historically used for making early catalogues.

Prints measure approximately 20cm x 30cm

History:

The history of Handover regularly brings up some beautiful objects, old labels, discontinued brushes, but nothing quite like these letterpress plates from the late 1940s. Found by our brushmaker carefully wrapped in paper, these are the original blocks used for making early catalogues, back when the customer base was built by going door to door with a case of brush samples and catalogues in tow.
