September 6th is World Beard Day! It is a day to recognize those with facial hair around the world. For today, since he doesn’t have a beard, Howard letterpress printed a hand carved woodcut of a gentleman with a large beard. We don’t know who is depicted in the print but Lewis Winter created it at his wood and photo engraving business at 627 J Street in Sacramento sometime in the late 1880s or 1890s. #WorldBeardDay #beard #beards #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #prin
