1 Jan 1436 Jahr - Gutenberg Printing Press

Beschreibung:

Johannes Gutenberg and Andreas Dritzehn collaborated to create a hand press in which ink was first rolled over the raised surfaces of movable handset letters and then pressed against a sheet of paper. This printing press became a staple until the 20th century as it reduced the labor involved with printing and significantly brought down the price of printed materials thereby allowing them to be made available to the masses.
