Inside the letterpress workshop

Letterpress printing comes into view here as both a craft and a history. Gaby Bazin places the typographer in the studio, where movable type and small lead characters help introduce how printed letters are made. The book connects the technique’s development—from Gutenberg to the present—with typography’s place in the wider world of art and print. Colorful illustrations support this introduction to a creative profession and to the material process behind printed pages.
