UNITED KINGDOM -A museum piece printing press is back in use as part of an exhibition at Norwich Cathedral celebrating the 400th anniversary of the first official English bible. The printing press is a work of art in itself.
Cast-iron serpents, eagles and winged swords decorate the historic machine. It was made in 1845 and used in Norwich for more than a century to help print books, posters, leaflets and calendars. Now the museum-piece printing press is once again in daily use, as part of an exhibition at Norwich Cathedral to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first official English bible. Volunteers will be reprinting the first two pages of Genesis, exactly as set out in Norwich Cathedral’s own 1611 King James Bible. The freshly-printed pages will then be available to buy in a commemorative envelope. [link]
