EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Wynkyn de Worde, the second printer at Westminster. The image, created by an English School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, is a digitally cleaned version that was originally featured in Henry Curwen's book "A History of Booksellers" published by Chatto and Windus around 1880. Wynkyn de Worde played a significant role as a publisher and bookseller in London during his time. This engraving beautifully captures his presence and importance within the publishing industry. Known for his contributions to printing in England, de Worde's work helped shape the development of literature not only in Great Britain but also across Europe. The image provides us with a glimpse into the history of publishers and booksellers, highlighting their crucial role in disseminating knowledge throughout society. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days when printed materials were still novel and groundbreaking.

Their dedication to spreading ideas through printed words has paved the way for today's thriving publishing industry while preserving our cultural legacy for generations to come.
