Printing a larger cut deserves a larger brayer! In this video, Howard prints a copy of a cut. This cut is a reproduction of W.C.

Prints of this are now for sale in our Museum Store! You can find other prints for sale on our website as well! https://shopsachistorymuseum.org/BrowsePage.aspx?searchtype=navitem&NavItemID=100001
