EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the momentous occasion of the introduction of the art of printing. In this scene, we witness William Caxton, a prominent figure in history, reading the first proof sheet from his printing press. The setting is none other than the Almonary within Westminster Abbey, where this groundbreaking event took place in March 1474. The engraving by W. Ridgway beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. With meticulous attention to detail, every line and stroke brings life to Caxton's expression as he carefully examines the printed words before him. The medieval atmosphere is palpable through E. H. Wenhert's skilled illustration techniques. As we delve into English and Scottish history through this volume titled "Illustrations Of English And Scottish History" we are transported back to a time when printing was still a novelty - an innovation that would forever change society's relationship with knowledge dissemination. This horizontal image serves as a powerful reminder of how far humanity has come since those early days of printing presses and proof sheets. It invites us to reflect on our own modern advancements while appreciating the rich heritage left behind by pioneers like Caxton. Ken Welsh's remarkable work allows us to connect with history visually, reminding us that even centuries-old scenes can still resonate deeply within our hearts and minds today.
