“After the birth of printing books became widespread. Hence everyone throughout Europe devoted himself to the study of literature… I really believe that at last the world is alive, indeed seething, and that the stimuli of these remarkable conjunctions did not act in vain.”

– Johannes Kepler

Johannes Gutenberg was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher who introduced printing to Europe. His introduction of mechanical movable type printing to Europe started the Printing Revolution and is widely regarded as the most important invention of the second millennium, the seminal event which ushered in the modern period of human history.

This late 19^th century work, “Gutenberg, and the Art of Printing” gives a snapshot into the fascinating history of the printing press. It is illustrated throughout, bound in the original publisher’s cloth hardcover with golden inlay.
