EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "From the Fifteen Oes and other Prayers printed by Caxton about 1491" takes us back in time to the early days of printing. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a page from William Caxton's renowned book. The image transports us to a world where books were a rarity and each one was painstakingly crafted. The intricate engraving captures the essence of Caxton's work, highlighting his dedication to preserving prayers and religious texts for future generations. The print is part of a collection that sought to reproduce early printed books held at The British Museum. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the artistry involved in early printing techniques. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of how far we have come since those humble beginnings. Today, with modern technology allowing for mass production of books, it is easy to take for granted the accessibility and abundance of literature that surrounds us. Yet this image reminds us that every book has its own story - from its creation through centuries-old traditions like those employed by William Caxton himself. This print invites us to appreciate not only the content within these ancient pages but also the craftsmanship behind them.
