EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Invention of Printing (engraving)" takes us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this artwork depicts an iconic scene from the birth of printing. At its center stands Johannes Gutenberg, the renowned German inventor credited with revolutionizing communication through his groundbreaking invention. Surrounded by a bustling workshop filled with craftsmen, including blacksmiths and goldsmiths, Gutenberg proudly holds up the first proof ever printed. The image beautifully captures the atmosphere of excitement and anticipation as these individuals realize they are witnessing something extraordinary. Laden with potential, this new method of reproducing text would forever change the course of human knowledge dissemination. The publisher and printer can be seen observing closely, recognizing that their industry is on the brink of transformation. This engraving not only pays homage to Gutenberg's ingenuity but also serves as a testament to Germany's rich cultural heritage and contribution to European history. With meticulous attention to detail, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every stroke made by its creator. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how far humanity has come thanks to one man's inventive spirit.
