A Glimpse Of The Past Through The Printing Collection - Printing in various forms has been known since very ancient times, but the breakthrough development that resulted in a literal explosion in printing all over Europe, and the world, occurred in Mainz, Germany, about 1450. Here, Johann Gensfleisch zum Gutenberg combined the then current printing press ideas with moveable, and interchangeable type. Gutenberg had worked with a goldsmith, Hans Duenne, in Strasbourg and it appears his ability of casting metal into individual characters was the key to this development. That ability to change letters meant that the older method of actually carving entire pages from wood was almost instantly obsolete. Gutenberg's first major printing project was the Gutenberg Bible. Today's newspapers, magazines, books and brochures all stem from this important development as methods have progressed through hot metal casting machines, photo offset methods, and now computers. They still rely on Gutenberg's manipulating individual characters and graphics.
