Many A Mickle Letterpress Print

This gorgeous print has been hand-crafted on our 1913 Chandler & Price printing press in our studio in Edinburgh. Printed by treadle power!

This print is A4 size and has been printed as part of a limited run. Each colour is printed separately on the press.

Printed on beautiful 300gsm cotton card, this paper is created using a waste product from the cotton industry.

“Many a mickle makes a muckle” means that many small quantities of something will make up a larger quantity.

The phrase is actually a misquote of the Scottish proverb “many a pickle makes a mickle.” “Mickle” and “muckle” both refer to a large amount or quantity, but we treat them as opposites in this phrase.
