Ruling inks at The Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI which is somewhat of a pilgrimage destination for typophiles. This photo was taken on a type nerd field trip with Craig of Twenty Six Types who I co-curate Number of the Day with. We were lucky to be there on a day when Jim Moran, the museum’s Printer+Archivist was in house and had time to tell us some great type history. He’s a walking encyclopedia on wood type and one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. The strings in the background are from a c.1895 Hickok Double Bean Paper Ruling Machine, which was used to make ledger and lined paper. Here’s a photo of that ruling machine by Liz Sapp.
