Hear
an interview with Mindy Belloff about the Goddard
Declaration on NPR's local Baltimore station 88.1
on
Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast.
You may listen to the podcast at www.WYPR.org or go
to: http://mdmorn.wordpress.com/
From
WYPR: Many of the names associated with the Declaration
of Independence-John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Samuel
Chase-are household names. Another one-Mary Katherine
Goddard-is probably not. But Goddard played a central
role in this foundational American document-she printed
it. At the time she was living in Baltimore and was
in fact Baltimore’s Postmistress. Mindy Belloff,
an artist who runs Intima Press in New York City,
has spent a year recreating Mary Katherine Goddard’s
printing of the Declaration of Independence. She joins
Sheilah from the Argot Studios in New
York.
