Description

A friend of WXXI offers a framed print of a page from the "Sermon on the Mount" that was printed on the Gutenberg press. A stunning piece for a home library or office. This print was created from an exhibit at the 1934 International Exposition, which was held in Chicago, Illinois. The quote on the print reads: "This page, from the Sermon on the Mount was set in the Donat type, the first known movable type of Gutenberg and was printed on the Gutenberg press from the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, loaned to A Century of Progress, International Exposition, Chicago, 1934 and exhibited by the Cuneo Press, Inc." The print was framed by Rochester Picture Framing in a black and gold tone frame that measures 14 ¼ inches by 19 ¾ inches.
