EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases an advertisement of books sold by Anton Koburger, a renowned printer in Nuremberg around 1480. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Facsimiles from Early Printed Books in the British Museum published in 1897. The image transports us back to the early days of printing when books were still a novelty and treasured possessions. It depicts a bustling scene with people eagerly perusing through stacks of printed materials. The intricate details captured by the English School artist highlight the craftsmanship involved in producing these early texts. Anton Koburger's name prominently features on this advertisement, indicating his reputation as one of the leading printers during that time. His dedication to quality and innovation is evident as he presents his wide range of offerings, including textbooks and various other genres. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to this litho print, enhancing its historical charm. This visual representation serves not only as an advertisement but also as a testament to the significance of early printing techniques and their impact on society. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how far we have come since those pioneering days while appreciating the rich history behind each book that was once sold by Anton Koburger at Nuremberg over five centuries ago.
