The Emanuel Rau Press shown was converted by Harry Stauffer to demonstrate letterpress printing. We’re still trying to understand how the press was originally designed to function but plan to use it as Harry did, to demonstrate printing at various events. We know that Emanuel Rau seems to have been mostly involved in envelope manufacturing. The press is graciously on loan from it’s owner, a member of Harry’s family.
Check out the calendar and come by the Print Shop to see it.
