EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure William Caxton, widely regarded as the first English printer and publisher. The image captures a momentous milestone in the world of printing - the very first sheet produced by Caxton's press. The fine art engraving, created by E. H. Wehnert, beautifully depicts this Renaissance craftsman immersed in his work during the 15th century. With intense focus and precision, Caxton is seen diligently operating his movable type printing press, showcasing his mastery as a print maker. The photograph transports us back to an era when each printed page was meticulously crafted by hand. It serves as a testament to Caxton's significant contribution to English literature and language through his pioneering efforts in mass-producing books. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, it reminds us of the transformative power that one individual can have on society through their dedication and innovation. William Caxton's legacy lives on today in every book we read and every word we write. This Granger Collection print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the technical skill involved in early printing methods but also reflects on how far humanity has come since those humble beginnings.
