The Helaine Victoria Press, an unusual mixture of lesbian feminist politics and fine letterpress technique, was founded in 1973 by Nancy Poore and Jocelyn Cohen. The press took its name from a combination of Cohen’s middle name, Helaine, and Poore’s pen name, Victoria. Inspired by the Women’s Liberation Movement, the Feminist Art Movement, and later, the Women in Print Movement, Poore and Cohen would grow Helaine Victoria Press into the first publisher of women’s history postcards. These postcards, along with other materials produced by the press, including broadsides, notecards, and bookplates, “were clearly artistic material objects, yet they bore rhetorical messages and were motivated by a desire to broadcast information and to educate.”
This was one of the press's rare forays into sticker production.
Price: $25.00
