Alex discusses our upcoming Lunar New Year event at the Sacramento History Museum on February 15

Описание: It’s about to be the Year of the Horse! Join us as we celebrate the Lunar New Year at the Sacramento History Museum with engaging cultural activities on Sunday, February 15th, from 11am to 2pm!

Bring your family and friends to the Museum and participate in engaging activities with the Sacramento Children’s Museum and Verge Center for the Arts, such as creating paper lanterns, making red envelopes (includes a special “Good Luck” coin!), and gold panning! PLUS, when you visit the Print Shop you can letterpress print a special Year of the Fire Horse print!

It's a celebration filled with fun and interactive activities which are all included with Museum admission.

In this video, Alex discusses the upcoming Lunar New Year event and what visitors can print when they attend. What was printed was an engraving of a horse, made in the 1890s, from the Lewis Winter Collection. The text accompanying the horse states, “Happy Lunar New Year! Year of the Horse” and was typeset in 30 point Caslon font. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our wooden Provisional Press.
