I decided to set some type to make some last minute holiday cards on my letterpress. A composing stick probably wasn't strictly necessary for two words, but I decided to do it anyway. Type should be arranged upside down and from left to right inside of the stick, which is adjustable.

Pieces of lead are placed on the top and on the bottom to hold the letters together and for spacing.

The type and lead are both placed inside the chase with furniture and quoins just like any other image.

The cards . . .
