Gutenberg's First Bible

“A printshop in Mainz, 1455. Johannes Gutenberg lifts a freshly printed page from the press as ink dries on the type. Foreground shows leather-padded inking balls and stacked Bible signatures; midground reveals apprentices setting type and a candle by a worn manuscript exemplar; through small windows, the Rhine glints past the cathedral spire.”
