Join the Museum at Eldridge Street on February 20 at 11:00am for a special family program where they’ll take a look at selections from the exhibition Pressed: Images from the Jewish Daily Forward. Children will get the chance to examine photographic prints and historic pages from the Forward newspaper and make their own works of art exploring storytelling through images.
“Pressed: Images from the Jewish Daily Forward” is a collaboration with Eldridge Street and the Bowne Print Shop at the Seaport Museum. “Pressed” features a selection of metal plates used to print images in the newspaper back in the day, along with actual prints made from the historic plates using traditional equipment.
