One of the best places to get a glimpse of Nashville's unique history is at the Hatch Show Print. Opened in 1879 by the Hatch brothers, this local letterpress print shop produced marketing materials and posters for a variety of clients ranging from politicians to famous musicians to local businesses. In the decades since, ownership has changed hands a few times, but the quality, workmanship, and unmatched excellence of letterpress artwork remains. These days, Hatch Show Print not only still produces letterpress artwork, but also houses an art gallery showcasing their work throughout the years, as well as a classroom and design studio dedicated to keeping the art of letterpress alive. Visit the gallery for a look at their historic posters and artwork and see how Nashville came to be known as Music City, and also how the shifting lifestyles and times shaped this southern city.
