The Power of the Press - Colonial Printing Demonstration

The patriots of Boston knew that the press was one of their most powerful tools. As tensions with Great Britain escalated, rebellious pamphlets, newspapers and political cartoons rolled off Boston’s presses. Our printmaker will demonstrate the printing process on a replica copperplate press and discuss the power of the press in colonial Boston.
