EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of Gutemburg, located in Mainz, Germany. Created in 1845 by an unknown artist, this sculpture pays homage to Johannes Gutenberg, the German printer credited with inventing printing or at least being one of the most probable claimants to this groundbreaking invention. The colossal bronze statue was cast by Charles Crozatier of Paris based on a model designed by Bertel Thorwaldsen. Standing proudly on a marble pedestal sourced from the quarries of Lahn, this noble memorial is adorned with four bronze bas-reliefs on its sides. Positioned facing the theater, it occupies one of Mayence's prime locations. As depicted in this engraving from "Illustrated London News" in 1845, Vol VII), the statue exudes grandeur and reverence. Johannes Gutenberg's contribution to humanity cannot be overstated; his invention revolutionized communication and knowledge dissemination forever. The Gutenberg Bible stands as a testament to his remarkable achievement that shaped not only Germany but also influenced countries far beyond its borders. This print captures not only a significant historical monument but also serves as a reminder of human ingenuity and progress through scientific advancements. It symbolizes how art can immortalize great minds who have left an indelible mark on society.
