520 _a"Gutenberg, and the Art of Printing" by Emily C. Pearson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, and explores the significance of his invention in the context of historical developments and personal struggles. It delves into Gutenberg's early life, his challenges, and his determination to make books more accessible to the general public, emphasizing how pivotal his contributions were to the spread of knowledge. The opening of the text introduces readers to Gutenberg's world, tracing his roots from Mentz to Strasbourg and providing insights into the political and social climates that shaped his life. It highlights his aspirations to popularize literature, and describes his early experiments with printing technology, including discussions about the making of playing cards and devotional images. The narrative also portrays his relationship with Anna, his wife, who supports and encourages his inventive spirit. As Gutenberg grapples with financial difficulties and personal trials, the foundation for his monumental role in the history of printing is set, suggesting the monumental changes his inventions would later bring to society.
