1995 #8

1995 is a set of individual ‘orphan’ letters combined to make an intriging collage. Every print is unique and bares the marks of the vintage fonts and their years of usage. The overprinted gold metallic letters change tone as you walk around the print.

The collection of unique wood block letters have been accumulated over many years starting in 1995 when the first block was purchased at Greenwich Market, London. Some letters printed perfectly, whereas others have had a harder working life which created wonderful textures and imperfect prints.

The print is created on 280gsm Vellum smooth paper.

A limited edition run of 20 prints were produced. Each print is unique in both style and layout.

These letterpress posters has been hand inked and printed. They are individually signed, numbered and embossed. All posters will be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and shipped in a cardboard tube.

Fresh Lemon Print by Phil Gambrill is a typographic and letterpress studio creating limited edition art using traditional printing techniques.

Phil is an award-winning graphic designer who started his career as a designer in London's West End. He worked with a number of high-profile music industry clients before co-founding Fresh Lemon UK in 2002.

In 2015 he branched out to Perth, Australia and established Fresh Lemon Pty Ltd. Shortly afterwards Phil reignited his passion for vintage printing processes and started to get ‘hands on’ once again. He imported printing presses, type cases and equipment from around the world to start up Fresh Lemon Print.

He now enjoys nothing more than lifting a fresh print from the press and marvelling at the wonderful imperfections caused by the aging wood type, whilst cursing in frustration as to why certain letters, just won’t print!
