EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of a Printer's workshop from the 16th century. The setting of type in the background sets the scene for a meticulous and labor-intensive process of hand printing. In the foreground, we see a puller carefully pulling sheets off the press, while finished pages are laid out ready for binding. This snapshot captures a moment in history when books were painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans. The engraving depicts compositors hard at work, meticulously arranging individual pieces of movable type to create each page. The printer's workshop is alive with activity as each step in the printing process is carried out with precision and care. The image adds to the sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era before modern technology revolutionized the printing industry. This glimpse into a bygone era reminds us of the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating books long before digital printers became commonplace. From Frankfurt, Germany in 1568, this print is not just a visual representation but also a historical artifact that sheds light on early book publishing practices. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of graphic design and publishing techniques. Let this print take you on a journey through time to appreciate the rich history behind every printed page.
