The incomparable Karr Graphics in Long Island City printed this beauty, on Mohawk Superfine. Karr is super-professional and their attention to quality and detail is superb (they also printed the MAS piece in the last post). I worry that this kind of print house is disappearing (in NYC, if not everywhere). I'll feature the full system (invitation, reply and reminder cards, envelopes, inserts, bags, program) later on.
It's 1978, and Peter Bradford has just produced his first book. Chair–The current state of the art, with the who, the why, and the what of it. Pictured is Mary Plumb Blade, born 1913.
John D. Rockefeller began the Rockefeller Foundation in 1913 with a gift of $35 million, "to promote the well-being of mankind throughout the world." 48 years later, the Foundation provided a seminal grant to an unknown Jane Jacobs for the research and writing of her classic work "The Death and Life of Great American Cities."
One year after Jane's death in 2006, the Foundation established the Jane Jacobs Medal, "to recognize visionary work in building a more diverse, dynamic and equitable city through creative uses of the urban environment."
We designed the invitation package for the 2009 Awards Ceremony and it was beautifully printed by Karr Graphics.
