Fantastic video by West Elm showing the work of hand-block printing artisans from Rajasthan. All the techniques from carving to spacing to printing are amazingly accurate.

Alex Steinweiss, the grandfather of album cover design, passed away today at the age of 94 in his home in Sarasota, FL. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
In this post I have included the text we wrote about Steinweiss for Graphic Design, Referenced. I had the brief opportunity of talking with him on the phone once. He remarked what a funny thing it was that I was a Jewish Mexican of Hungarian descent. He couldn’t believe it.
Shown: Smash Song Hits, Rodgers & Hart. Columbia Records, 1939.
Thanks to Tommy Steele for the note on Steinweiss’ passing.
