Brian's wife, Laura, is a wonderful graphic designer (see her work at Side Door Studio) and made these business cards for our efforts to learn more about that Marvelous Salt Tram! (Thanks, Laura!). She printed a batch of these cards for us on her 1930's letterpress (hand-inked, hand-cranked!), and I've already gone through them all and am ready to order another batch. click to enlarge.
