Art auction featuring international contemporary artists to benefit Helaine Victoria Press. Saturday, Nov. 11. At: Indiana University Foundation [poster]

Bloomington, IN: Helaine Victoria Press, [1989]. Poster. 11x17 inch poster, printed by letterpress; very good but for small closed edge tear at lower left.

Helaine Victoria Press, which took its name from the middle names of founders Jocelyn Helaine Cohen and Nancy Taylor Victoria Poore, published broadsides, posters, and other formats of work, but was best known for its women’s history postcard series. It started with an offset press in Santa Monica but switched to an 80-year old cast iron letterpress, noted by Cohen as “the method which was standard when we were trying to get the vote.” The press later moved to Indiana, and was ultimately donated to the Women's Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls, New York, where the letterpress now resides.
