Introducing the Greenfield Village Printing Office collection of hand printed letterpress postcards. 

Each design celebrates our collection of 19th century antique wood and metal type along with 21st century artisan printing techniques, creating truly unique prints. These postcards were printed on our 1880’s treadle-driven platen press, one color at a time. The back is printed with a vintage electrotype postcard cut with space to write a message. The results are small, multi-layered works of art, perfect for sending a special note in the mail, or collecting each design to add to your home decor!

Greenfield Village 1929 Model-T Postcard was printed in three colors using some of the most historic wood type in our collection. Inspired by the vintage printing plate of the iconic Ford Model-T, our artisan paired the image with shaded type reading “Greenfield Village,” designed by William Page & Co in the 1870s. Another layer of wood type referencing 1929, the year Henry Ford Museum launched, is overprinted in red ink on French’s Steel Blue cardstock.
