Patriot Printer
Prompted by yesterday's blog from the American Antiquarian Society, I watched the Patriot Printer video on Vimeo (where a few other videos also look enticing, such as Vincent Golden's one on antebellum American newspapers). PP is a dramatic reenactment of how early printer and AAS founder, Isaiah Thomas, printed a 1775 edition of the Massachusetts Spy. Check it out, ye lovers of American history and printing!
