This week, instead of class, we attended the Crandall Printing Museum, which contains artifacts and recreations from the history of printing until the early 1900's. What an experience! They have one of the two working Gutenberg (full scale model) presses in existence in the world. They also have the tools to make the type used in the printing presses, and they demonstrated how this was done, using a mold and printers alloy. Quite interesting!
