This letterpress blog will be much different than any others currently on-line. The focus of the blog will be on antique printer’s blocks, aka letterpress cuts. Most other blogs in the letterpress arena are in reference to actual letterpress printing operations. We would recommend visiting some of them to get an idea of the high quality work others are producing using this Historic method. There are some exceptional letterpress printing operations and individuals out there and they would welcome your support, business, questions, or comments.

We've created this blog as an extension of our Damosel's Printers Blocks website. The blog will allow us to expand on our descriptions and offer more in-depth information on specific blocks. We have modified the appearance to not follow the standard blog templates and hope that it offers an interesting and enjoyable experience. We will do our best to keep the content interesting and consistent.

At Damosel’s Printers Blocks we carry a wide range of Historic antique blocks. Topics range from simple graphics to very ornate designs. All of our blocks are from the mid to late 19th century, and into the 20th century. We have many categories listed, some of which include:

Early Political and Patriotic Print Blocks

Early Foundry Cast Printers Type Blocks

Early Farm and Wild Animal Print Blocks

Early Fraternal Logos and Symbols Print Blocks

Early Holiday Topic Print Blocks

Early Billhead and Document Print Blocks

Early Foundry Identification and Pin Mark Library

WWI era Eickhorn German Edged Weapon Print Blocks

Classic American Advertisement Print Blocks

Sports Related Print Blocks

There are wood type, copper face, white metal face, foundry cast, and linoleum face. Our collection continues to grow and we will be adding many new items this year. We are committed to maintaining a website that offers insight to printing and publishing methods and materials of the past.

Please visit us and have a look around. We offer a gallery for viewing, information and links pages, as well as an on-line store. There are blocks available for purchase from $1 and up.



Below we have left this first post loaded with Nucleus links and information for those interested in evaluating or using a Nucleus CMS Blog. A lot of people worked very hard to offer such incredible, free software. We feel it is only right to give credit where credit is due.

Home - nucleuscms.org Welcome to the world of Nucleus CMS. In 2001 a set of PHP scripts were let loose on the open Internet. Those scripts, which took user-generated data and used it to dynamically create html pages, contained the ideas and the algorithms that are the core of todays Nucleus CMS. Though Nucleus CMS 3.3 is far more flexible and powerful than the scripts from which it emerged, it still expresses the values that guided its birth: flexibility, security, and computational elegance.

Thanks to an international community of sophisticated developers and designers, Nucleus CMS remains simple enough for anyone to learn, and expandable enough to allow you to build almost any website you can imagine. Nucleus CMS lets you integrate text, images, and user comments in a seamless package that will make your web presence as serious, professional, personal, or fun as you want it to be. We hope you enjoy its power.
