June 20th is Bald Eagle Appreciation Day, also known as National American Eagle Day! This day commemorates the anniversary of choosing the bald eagle as the American national symbol in 1782. For today, Howard letterpress printed an image from a photo engraving from the Bill Skarles Collection. This patriotic cut depicts a bald eagle. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #SacHistoryMuseum #baldeagle #printing #museumtok #art
