Eagle #3

Eagle is a large format, limited edition, letterpress poster depicting the first lunar landing on 20 July 1969. The Apollo 11 crew of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins became household names as they captured the world’s attention and became the first manned mission to land on the moon.

Each print details the names, timings and information of the actual moment of touch down, as well as Neil Armstrong’s iconic confirmation quote “The Eagle has landed”.

The montage is made up from a number of different print runs. Each pass uses vintage wood block letters that have had a hard working life and create wonderful textures and imperfections on the textured ‘laid’ paper.

The print is created on high quality 220gsm Classic Laid Midnight Blue paper

A limited edition run of 23 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!
