​CCCAC Kerredge Gallery May 4-28, 2022

The exhibition includes a selection of advertising and show posters on loan from the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. All posters were printed from hand carved wood blocks from Enquirer Printing in Cincinnati and Globe Printing in Chicago, dating from the 1920s to the 1970s.

The type-based pieces in this exhibition are generally Hamilton wood type but other type used date back to the late 1880s. These posters were re-printed at the Hamilton Museum over the last seven years as both collections were catalogued. The majority of them were printed by the Museum’s Master Printer, Jim Moran. 
All of the posters are for sale on the Museum’s website: www.woodtype.org!​
