Zanis Waldheims, born 1909 (Latvia) produced these beautiful geometric abstractions in the 60′s. Much more on Yves Jeanson’s Flickr stream, who also compiled this concise bio on Waldheims.

Update: Very interesting story unfolding as Zanis’s grandson uncovers the man’s life here.

Since seeing these amazing prints by Mikey Burton I’m dying for an opportunity to mess about on an old letterpress setup. I absolutely love the authentic human feel of letterpress work, the way type ‘bites’ into the paper giving it a 3 dimensional quality, the imperfections of the fading ink and imprecise colour (mixed by eye). In a virtual (on-screen) modern world the physicality of letterpress is truly refreshing. Here are some images of a press setup, from OldTimeyDave’s Flickr page:
