Letterpress Printer Block Wood Metal Type OF A MACHINE LIMA LOADER JUL 30 1969 - Letterpress Printer Block Wood Metal Type OF A MACHINE LIMA LOADER JUL 30 1969 GOOD CONDITION APROX - 5" X 3" Brief History The birth of letterpress printing in Europe came in the 15th century. Although printing with wood blocks has deeper roots in the Far East, Johannes Gutenberg developed “reusable movable type”, the basic principle that was used well into the 20th century. The invention of movable type allowed Gutenberg to print the first historic 42-line Bible in 1455. This was the first Western mass-produced book, also known as the Gutenberg_Bible Letterpress printing became the method of choice, and for the next four hundred years continued to evolve until the introduction of the linotype machine in the late 19th century. Linotype machines soon replaced letterpress as the primary printing method. Letterpress printing today is thriving with a great number of individuals personally dedicated to the preservation of this historic art-form, important people maintaining this art-from, hopefully for generations or even centuries to come!
