April 17th is National Banana Day! This day is dedicated to the yellow (when ripe) fruit.

While we don’t have a cut in our print shop exhibit specifically about bananas, we do have one that contains them! For today, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Lewis Winter Collection that was made about 125-130 years ago. This cut, which is in the shape of a circle, contains a woman (maybe Minerva) surrounded by tropical fruit.

Considering Lewis Winter submitted in the early 1890s many engravings for competition at the California State Fair, which was operated by the California State Agricultural Society, that could explain why he made this cut. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

We have officially reached a viewership level that has never been obtained by another museum before! All of us at the Sacramento History Museum are in disbelief.

We would have never thought that our institution, a small nonprofit museum in Sacramento, California, could reach this many views, but we are incredibly thankful for all of those who take the time to watch our videos and for your support.

In this video, Howard letterpress printed a headline announcing “Sacramento History Museum Reaches One Billion Video Views On YouTube” while using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852!
