This mini-broadside presents a beautiful short meditation on gratitude by Henry David Thoreau, from a letter he wrote to Harrison Blake on December 6, 1856. Hand-set and letterpress printed with metal type, the print is small enough to tuck into a greeting card or to frame and place on a desk. May Thoreau’s timeless words remind us of our true wealth ~ joy and thankful presence in this moment, this life!
