EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Johannes Gutenberg, the renowned German inventor and printer, prints the first page of the Bible. The image is taken from "La ciencia y sus hombres" a book published in 1879 that delves into the world of science and its influential figures. The fine art lithograph showcases Gutenberg's groundbreaking contribution to book printing and design. With meticulous attention to detail, it portrays him diligently working in his print shop as he carefully presses ink onto the paper, bringing words to life for future generations. Gutenberg's invention of movable type revolutionized publishing by allowing books to be produced at a faster pace than ever before. This marked a turning point in history, making knowledge more accessible and transforming literacy rates across Europe. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph add depth and vibrancy to an already significant moment captured on paper. It serves as a testament not only to Gutenberg's genius but also to the skillful craftsmanship of Juan Planella y Rodriguez, one of Spain's talented printmakers. Today, this remarkable piece resides within a private collection where it continues to inspire awe and admiration for Gutenberg's monumental achievement. Its presence reminds us of how typography has shaped our world while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to advancing human knowledge through printing technology.
