Letterpress Broadsides
In September of 2024, eight current and former students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) visited the Newberry to see and learn about the items on display in Making an Impression: Immigrant Printing in Chicago. In response, each student created their own broadside designs to share with exhibition visitors. Below are the finished broadsides and artists' statements explaining their artistic style, approach, and intentions.
