Description:
"This is a facsimilie page from Gutenberg's Bible, the first major book to be published by the new process known as moveable type. The year was approximately 1454/55. The emergence of this new technology meant that for the first time Bibles could be printed in a fraction of the time it took to hand-write one; and they would henceforth be affordable to the average wage earner. Although the Chinese and other Oriental groups had developed a primitive form of printing, it was left to Johann Gutenberg of Mainz, Germany to fully develop the technology."
