HWY 1

/
  • In stock

I regret not having spent more time in Louisiana.

I’ve not done much in the pelican state but drive. Windows down in the sticky summers. Radio blasting. Heading either to or from home and eager to get there. Crisscrossing LA HWY 1 as we made our way across the state. Thinking about my old college roommate from Ruston. Or that night in NOLA. Or cussin’ a car with LSU flags headed to Baton Rouge (go Rebs!). Seeing folks who were hopping on 1 for just a few of her 432 miles. Heading to see family. To hug those who were hurting. To help those neighbors who were needing a hand. 

For me, HWY 1 was always about a journey. But for a lot of y’all, it's about home.

What goes into an Old Try letterpress print?

Love. History. Cut hands. And a little bit of cussing.

DISPLAY TYPE

Wooden & Worn

We have drawers of 100+ year old wooden (and lead) display type. It has been used to print rodeo posters and labor union broadsides and newspapers. It has aged like a champ - picking up dents and dings that give the characters character.

HAND-CARVED GRAPHICS

Linoleum & Magnesium

Each color gets a plate. And 95% of those plates are carved by hand. Some have fine line work (or just obnoxious repeating elements the designer insists on) and those get machined. It isn’t quick or cheap or easy, and that’s just how we like it.

Happy Customers

Beautiful design & high quality

Received this as a gift, and I'm thrilled with it. I'm proud to be able to hang something that represents my state well, and the design looks simply fantastic. High quality, to the point that I purchased another Old Try print when I saw how good it looked. Would recommend.

Five stars and nothing less

This was our second purchase from The Old Try. Their prints make for such a warm welcome in our Atlanta home. Each product is made in the US and made with intention. The company (Micah) is super thorough in communicating order & shipping information (and awesome follow-up emails). Love this'un and all the rest! Thanks again!
