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! 

Henry Ford Birthplace Postcard features a simple line drawn image of the homestead, letterpress printed from a vintage printing plate in our collection. The text is typeset by hand in 18 point Bernhard Roman movable metal type on French’s Steel Blue cardstock. 

Dims: 4 x 6".

Shipping charges are based upon final weight.  All orders are shipped via USPS or UPS. Please allow 7–10 business days for delivery.
