A Series of Headaches

A Series of Headaches is a marvelous video from the London Review of Books documenting letterpress printer Nick Hand as he prints a page from the magazine using methods as close as he can get to those used to print the First Folio of Shakespeare plays. The page selected is an old LRB article about the First Folio by Michael Dobson. The video is made in conjunction with Folio400, a website with lots of information about the First Folio, as well as a series of articles on it.
