EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate illustration of William Caxton's Print Mark, a significant symbol in the history of printing. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this image is part of Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, written and engraved by Paul Lacroix in 1878. William Caxton, a prominent figure born around 1422, left an indelible mark on English literature with his pioneering efforts as a printer. This engraving beautifully captures his trademark imprint that became synonymous with quality craftsmanship during that era. Caxton's notable achievements include publishing Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye in 1474 - considered to be the first book ever printed in English - as well as Dictes or Sayengis, which was not only published but also produced entirely within England. These groundbreaking accomplishments revolutionized access to knowledge and paved the way for future generations of printers. The initials, hallmark, and printing details depicted here represent more than just technical aspects; they embody Caxton's legacy as one of history's most influential printers. Preserved within a private collection today, this print serves as a reminder of Caxton's invaluable contributions to literature while honoring his enduring impact on society. Through this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where every stroke held immense significance – an era when words began their journey into permanence through ink on paper.
