Invention & Discovery: Printed Books from Fifteenth-Century Europe
This exhibition presents sixty books and broadsides printed between c. 1455 and 1500. The selections highlight unique copy-specific characteristics that focus attention on the various ways in which Europeans in past centuries discovered the power and potential of Gutenberg's invention. Employing local artisans to provide rubrication, illumination, and bindings, early readers added their own annotations, inscriptions, and other signs of ownership and use. As a group, the exhibited items reflect the active participation of countless individuals in the initial spread of print culture across Europe.
