On July 20, 1969, the spacecraft Apollo 11 commanded by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon. Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface almost 7 hours after the landing. This day will forever live on in history and our print shop actually contains a halftone to remember that historic event. In this video, Howard letterpress printed an image from a halftone depicting a commemorative cup for the Moon landing. This was likely used to advertise the cup in a newspaper or magazine 54 years ago. The halftone process is a way to have photography in printing starting in the late 1880s. #SacHistoryMuseum #onthisday #museumtok #moonlanding #halftone #printmaking
