Tryst Press | Broadsides | Western Letterpress Broadside Exchange I

In 1998, Tryst Press, together with the Marriott Library Book Arts Program, sponsored the first Western States Letterpress Broadside Exchange. It is a fantastic collection, described this way by Madelyn Garrett, Rare Book Curator of the University of Utah Marriott Library: “The portfolio is a snapshot of current Western fine press, reflecting the diverse interests, subject matter, and aesthetics of eighteen Intermountain letterpress printers. It is also a collaboration united in the shared spirit of restlessness and adventure that has always been a defining expression of 'the West.'”

This collection is far underpriced for the quality of its pieces. You will long enjoy returns on this investment. If you would like more information on the Exchange participants, please contact us.

Each broadside is colophoned, signed and numbered by the artist, and enclosed in a protective sheet of glassine.

Each broadside printed letterpress in whole or in part, on mould-made or handmade paper. Edition of 40.
Pieces approx. 6 x 8 inches.
Suite of eighteen in handmade archival case. $150.00 plus tax and shipping. SOLD OUT.
