‘Low Tide’ was produced in collaboration with a regional poet for a small literary press run — 75 copies, signed by the poet and numbered by hand as they came off the press, on our French Paper Kraft-Tone stock specifically because the poem’s subject (a working harbor, not a postcard one) called for something with visible fiber texture rather than a pristine cotton sheet.
Two-color: black body text set in metal type, and a spot-red woodcut-style ornament pulled from a photopolymer plate rather than hand-carved, since the original artwork was a pen drawing the poet supplied rather than something cut directly for print. We run literary broadsides like this in small numbered editions deliberately — the scarcity is real, tied to an actual limited press run and a hand-numbering pass, not a marketing number.
