Bill Ritchie's art in the

Joan Breaux Collection

(Illustration shown is not the actual No. 4 Mini Halfwood)

2004. Mini Halfwood Press SN60004. Walnut, Ipe. Press shown includes the optional polished brass bed, but it is not No. 4.

Artist's comment: Joan contacted me via the Internet. She's been in art for thirty years and teaches, using a Dickerson. She frist saw the Mini on E-bay and later decided to order it for her self. She later wrote and asked for suggestions as to how to prevent rust on the press rollers. This all happened before Katrina hit her town, and I haven't heard from her since. It worries me.
