Description

For centuries, the printing press has helped ordinary people influence their government, society, and culture. Printing has contributed to the spread of ideas critical for life in a thriving republic.   

In this hands-on printing workshop, you will use a tabletop press to create your own, personal copies of U.S. founding documents–such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights—complemented by a selection of important engravings from the Rosenbach’s holdings. The workshop will be accompanied by a discussion of how print culture has served as a tool of change and given voice to the people, with examples from the Rosenbach collection.
