If you’re a fan of music, design and Americana then chances are you’re already familiar with the work of Hatch Show Print. Founded by Charles and Herbert Hatch in 1879, it’s one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America. Located in Nashville, Hatch Show Print posters have featured a host of country music performers, ranging from Country Music Hall of Famers Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, and Johnny Cash to contemporary stars such as Garth Brooks and Wynonna.
Their technique, tried and true, has been to combine color, authenticity and a bold tactile design. According to their site they’ve “done it all without losing that irresistible appeal of turn-of-the-century Hatch posters, which were used to promote vaudeville, circus, and minstrel shows across the country. There’s a reason why music lovers, Americana buffs, graphic arts collectors and designers, and commercial advertisers of all persuasions continue to turn to Hatch for inspiration. We are, indeed, a tonic for the information age.”
To celebrate our launch, we’re excited to give away a limited edition Hatch Show Print (numbered and all) to the first 100 subscribers to The Parcel.
