LETTERPRESS & BOOK ARTS
The story of Anise Press is a love story.
First, we love books. We read them and collect them, print them and sew them by hand. We also love the history of the printed book, and our fascination with hand-set type and hand-carved illustrations led us to purchase the first of our four presses in 2001. It’s been a torrid love affair ever since.
We also enjoy working with our hands, and love the old-school craft and artistry demanded by letterpress printing. Our line of products is hand-made with love from start to finish: our illustrations are hand-cut wood engravings or linoleum block prints, and the majority of the text on our products is hand-set antique wood and lead type. We mix our inks by hand and feed each card or print through one of our vintage presses one at a time, much the way it was done fifty (or five hundred) years ago.
But the biggest part of this love story is that Anise Press is the husband and wife team of Jennifer and Todd Samuelson. We love the work that we do and love working together, and hope that you enjoy our letterpress stationery and cards, limited edition posters, and fine art broadsides as much as we loved designing and printing them for you.
