American Letterpress: The Art of Hatch Show Print celebrates a time-honored graphic art tradition through the work of Nashville's Hatch Show Print, one of the nation's oldest and continuously printing shops. While Hatch’s name is synonymous with the music business, its posters promoting football games, vaudeville shows, state fairs, stock car races, and picture shows reflect the breadth of American popular culture.   Organized by Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibitions Service (SITES), the exhibition includes approximately 120 original posters (including authorized restrikes from vintage blocks and contemporary restrikes), 20 hard-carved wooden printing blocks, text panels and labels.
