From Type Case to Printed Proof

In this video, Howard discusses the steps of printing a proof (your test/first print of a work). The steps include a discussion of the California job case, the layout of the job case, how to use a composing stick, how to set type in the composing stick, Howard demonstrating setting phrase in the composing stick, and then pulling a proof of what he set using our Washington hand press made in 1852.
