EDITORS COMMENTS
William Caxton: The Pioneering Printmaker and Ink Maker William Caxton, a pivotal figure in the history of printing, is depicted in this evocative poster as a strong and determined figure, surrounded by the tools of his trade. Caxton is known for his groundbreaking contributions to the world of printing, including setting up the first printing press in England in 1476. But did you know that he also made his own ink? Ink making was an essential skill for any printer in the 15th century, as high-quality ink was crucial for producing clear and legible text. Caxton's ink recipe is not known, but it is believed that he used a mixture of iron gall ink and charcoal. The process involved boiling a solution of gall nuts, tannin, and water, and then adding finely ground charcoal. The mixture was then left to age for several weeks to develop the rich, dark color and consistency that was ideal for printing. Today, while we no longer need to make our own ink for printing, the art of ink making continues to fascinate and inspire. This poster, produced by Wiborg Ault & Co. in Cincinnati, pays homage to Caxton's pioneering spirit and his role in the history of printing. The muscular figure of Caxton, with his intense gaze and the inkpot in his hand, serves as a reminder of the strength and dedication required to bring ideas to life through the printed word. Whether you're a history buff, a graphic designer, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the printed word, this poster is a must-have addition to your collection. Printed on high-quality paper, it is a testament to the enduring allure of the printed word and the artisanal craftsmanship that goes into producing it.
