Pliers, screwdrivers and Argo corn starch - if you wanted to get out your viewpoint - these were necessary to adjust the letterpress and make the paper slide through. Just a few years back...
Gwen Frostic [1] reproduced her images of birds, flowers, seeds, and weeds the Gutenberg [2] way - lithographs on printing presses.
I was fortunate to meet Ms Frostic at her business in Benzonia, Michigan [3].
We all need to keep in mind the ease of web publishing, and not take it for granted. Maybe our penance should be teaching others to use the web to broaden its influence.
The Bank closed Gwen Frostic, not the web. Funny, eh?
