Books and Printing
In the exhibit of the printer from Gutenberg, I had found the process of how they printed at that time intriguing. For the application of transferring ink to the cases was done with a duck skin brush was most shocking from the visit. However, also learning most print shops were set up around water due to having an apprentice run back and forth from the shop to clean off the letter in the water was interesting fact I learned at the museum.

I agree very intriguing and sad about the animal skin used but being that it's nonporous it made sense and was intelligent but still sad

ReplyDeleteWasn't the animal skin used to transfer the ink to the cases dog skin?
ReplyDeleteI think that the worst part would have been running back to the river to clean because that would have been nothing but grunt work without any learning.

ReplyDeleteIt was made out of dog not duck, they used dog because dogs don't have pours so the ink wouldn't soak through

ReplyDeleteYeah! It blew my mind that they specifically used dog skin because it's nonporus. As sad as it seems that was super smart.
