Custom Wes McDonough 2025 Show Poster from Hatch Show Print in Nashville, TN (Unsigned) Approximate Size: 14" x 22" Hatch Show Print is a historic letterpress poster print shop in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 1879 by brothers Charles and Herbert Hatch, making it one of the oldest continuously operating letterpress print shops in the United States. Originally producing handbills and posters to advertise circuses, lectures, and traveling shows, the shop became deeply tied to Nashville’s music scene when it operated behind the Ryman Auditorium from the 1920s through the 1950s, creating iconic posters for country music stars and a wide array of entertainers. Over the decades it weathered changes in ownership and printing technology but maintained its traditional craft; in 1992 it was donated to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, where it now operates, preserving its wood type and hand-carved imagery while still producing vibrant, handmade posters for artists and events, offering tours and educational experiences that celebrate its enduring role in American visual and musical culture.
