Today, March 20, is World Frog Day! In honor of today, Howard used some Pantone Green ink to print an image of a frog taking an unexpected mode of transportation. This 120 year old electrotype cut is from the Lewis Winter Collection. Lewis Winter was a wood and photo engraver who had his business at 627 J Street from 1888 to 1910. We don’t know the backstory of this cut, but it isn’t the only cut of an animal riding a penny farthing in his collection. #worldfrogday #frog #Sacramento #printing |
