The Passenger Press

The Passenger Press is a Glasgow letterpress studio specialising in hand-printed cards, prints, and paper goods. Everything is created using traditional metal type and hand-operated presses, from botanical cyanotypes to revived Victorian typography. Working with museums, libraries, and archives, The Passenger Press brings forgotten historical images back into circulation as letterpress greetings cards. Each card tells the story behind the image: who created it, where it's been sitting, and why it survived. A thoughtful approach to showcasing material that would otherwise stay tucked away in special collections. Collaborations include the National Library of Scotland, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, University of Glasgow, Sir John Soane's Museum, and the William Morris Gallery.
