EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The engraving, skillfully created by Birrel for the book "A Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors Volume II" published in 1806, depicts Earl Rivers and William Caxton presenting their groundbreaking creation to King Edward IV. In this vertical illustration, we see the esteemed Earl Rivers and Caxton standing before the majestic King Edward IV of England. Their faces are filled with anticipation as they present their revolutionary invention - a printed book - to the king. This historic encounter showcases not only the first printing press in England but also highlights the immense impact it would have on society. The portrait captures an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and progress as these philosophers introduce a new era of knowledge dissemination through printing. It is said that this very book contains profound sayings or dictes from various renowned authors, making it even more valuable. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but appreciate its historical significance. It reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of printing when ideas were brought to life on paper for all to read and learn from. Let this image serve as a reminder of our enduring quest for knowledge and innovation throughout centuries past.
