Légende

Statue of Gutemburg, at Mayence, 1845. Sculpture of German printer Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, Germany: '...a noble memorial to Gutemberg, the Inventor of Printing, or, at least, one of those to whom that invention is ascribed with the greatest probability-for there are many claimants of the honour. The Statue is a colossal one, in bronze, cast by Crozatier of Paris from a model by Thorwaldsen. The pedestal is of marble, from the quarries of Lahn; the four faces bear bas-reliefs, in bronze...The Statue faces the theatre, and is on one of the best sites in Mayence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
