Letterpress is a craft with a rich history. After the invention of movable type by Johannes Gutenberg of Mainz, Germany, around 1440, letterpress became the most successful method of printing for the next 500 years. In the middle of the 20th century, offset lithography and phototypesetting replaced letterpress as the dominant printing method. however, letterpress printing has seen a revival in recent years. There exist today letterpress printers, working mostly in small shops, whose passion and dedication is unprecedented. They produce letterpress items that are cherished forever. These prints painstakingly produced on old hand-fed presses, are highly valued for their unsurpassed quality.
A Rainy Day in Pompeii – 10 Note Cards
Regularly: $12.00
Now Only: $8.40
This image is taken from a late 20th century engraving of a painting by Ettore Forti. Through a high-quality digital reproduction process, the details of the original engraving have been carefully preserved.
Ettore Forti was an Italian artist and archaeologist, whose work spanned the decades of the late 19th and early 20 centuries. Although we know little about his life, we find a significant number of his paintings used as illustrations in early Latin textbooks. Forti painted genre scenes of Roman life. His paintings were intricate and intriguing, filled with beautiful details of architectural features, furnishings,and costumes. As in the engraving, Forti’s scenes of daily Roman life often captured a moment that was touched with drama or humor.
These note cards, digitally reproduced from the original prints, make an ideal gift for the classicist or lover of antiquity.

More About These Titles…
Disciplina Clericalis, Petrus Alphonsus This collection, never before edited with notes, is a source for Medieval fables and tales, taken from many different sources; examples are given in the back of the book with notes. This is the perfect sourcebook for readings for classes at the intermediate level.
Fables by Phaedrus Fables are always fun for students. Here not only are the Phaedrus fables, with excellent notes, but also the fables of Aesop and Babrius (in English), the Medieval versions (in Latin with notes) and LaFontaine. A wonderful book for mixed classes: the lower level students can read the Phaedrus and English, and the upper level students can read the Phaedrus and the Medieval Latin. Fun for everyone!
Plautus for Reading and Production A revision of the original book, this abbreviated (but totally authentic) text of 3 major comedies and scenes from 4 others is a crowd pleaser. The information on performance gives students many chances to expand on the stories and perform them. An excellent book for the intermediate level.
The Story of the Prophet Daniel Here are 2 text versions with notes of the Medieval Play of Daniel: Beauvais, which is available on CDs, and Hilarius. There is a wealth of ancillary material, too: scholarly articles on various elements in the plays, a discussion of characters and drama in the Middle Ages, and parts of the Apocrypha in English. A fascinating book and great for multi-media presentations.
