It’s the last day of 2025! For today, New Year’s Eve, Howard letterpress printed “Farewell 2025” using wood type. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. We want to thank you for joining us this past year as we’ve shared Sacramento history with you all. We hope you stick with us in 2026! #newyears #newyearseve #newyearseve2025 #nye2025 #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #printmaking #oldsacramento | Sacr
