EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Gutenberg, Fust et Schoeffer considerant les premieres epreuves de l art de l imprimerie" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when the invention of printing revolutionized the world. The image depicts Johannes Gutenberg, Johann Fust, and Peter Schoeffer engrossed in examining their first printed proofs. The scene captures a pivotal moment in history as these three pioneers contemplate the remarkable achievement they have accomplished. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement and awe at witnessing their words come to life on paper for the very first time. This artwork was created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It was originally commissioned as an illustration for Charles Brandon's book "Les Inventions Merveilleuses" published by Otto Spamer around 1875. The print showcases not only the inventors themselves but also provides insight into early print technology with its depiction of various printing tools and machinery. It serves as both a clue and evidence of how this groundbreaking invention paved the way for progress in journalism, literature, education, and communication. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Gutenberg's monumental contribution to human civilization – forever changing how information is disseminated and shaping our modern world.
