Letterpress, a printing technique invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century where a raised surface is inked and pressed against paper creating relief patterns, is now back in vogue. Albertine Press in Somerville, MA designs and prints attractive line sketch-type graphics on 100% cotton paper using antique presses as well as modern versions. Look for products featuring cityscapes of Boston and other cities around the world. Their Boston Cityscape Postcard Calendar makes a good gift.
