I have admired Jim Tyler's work ever since David gave me a Tyler broadside of his haunting poem "Dutch Interior." Tyler works quietly at his letterpress in Ithaca, New York. He sets type entirely by hand, one letter at a time, and prints on a hand-operated press, slowly, one sheet at a time, and one color at a time. The results are precise and beautiful, as you can see in the slideshow below (be sure to use the full-screen option).
Framed broadsides make terrific gifts, don't you think? You can find a complete list of Larch Tree Press broadsides here and here. Or you can write to [email protected] to ask about availability and prices.
