Dürer’s 1511 Drawing of a Press and Printer sawbucks With an introduction by theAlbrecht Drer had his finger on the pulse. Just a few short decades after Gutenberg did his thing, Drer was making plans for pressrooms. His lovely drawing is reproduced here via collotype and is accompanied by an essay by Ray Nash.
