This article focuses on mass production that is generally seen as an achievement of the 20th century based on roots in the 19th century. The developing art of printing was aided by contemporary innovations in technology. The magnifying lens arrived in northern Europe just in time to be useful. Gutenberg’s introduction to printing via religion probably led to his decision to go on to produce a Bible. The proceeds from the famous Bible printing, which was done in 1456, went only to his collaborators after he was forced to cede his business to them. Today, the idea of pressing inked metal into paper is quaint. Fonts are made of electrical impulses. But the legacy of the Renaissance printers remains with us.
