ICH DRUCKE! SIGNET MARKE UND DRUCKERZEICHEN SEI...

Did Johannes Gutenberg  the inventor of letterpress printing  have a business card? Probably
not. However  his successors introduced the so-called printer's mark: predecessor to the
publishing logo. These witty  creative 'business cards' have adorned the first or last pages of
books since the early days of book printing  identifying the printers responsible. The aim was
to showcase and sell both themselves and the printed books. To mark the 625 th anniversary of
Gutenberg's birth  the Gutenberg Museum Mainz is dedicating a first exhibition to the pictorial
genre of printer's marks. The accompanying volume opens up the world of printers and publishers
from the beginnings of book printing to the present day  and includes texts on processes in the
printing workshop  the printer's job  and specific case studies. Look inside The history of
book printers  artists and publishers - made clear on the basis of their printer's marks from a
previously unknown museum collection Fascinating case studies from history and the present day
e.g. on the development of the Deutscher Kunstverlag logo Exhibition  Gutenberg-Museum  Mainz
