Gutenberg's Bible

view map

"Johann Gutenberg created the printing press, lead alloys and new types of ink. But he went bankrupt during his greatest printing job ever -- the Bible. His partner, Johannes Fust, finished the job. Within decades, many countries had printing presses. Here, a page from an original 1455 Gutenberg Bible and a bound facsimile; just 48 originals exist." - on display at the Newseum
