Bowne Printers

Bowne Printers is a letterpress printshop in downtown Manhattan and part of the South Street Seaport Museum. The shop's resident printers use the Seaport Museum's extensive collection of historic printing equipment, moveable type and engravings to print custom jobs and retail items that are sold in house and next door at Bowne & Co., Stationers. The shop is open 7 days a week and invites visitors to watch and discuss letterpress printing in New York City.
