From his childhood, Gutenberg had seen wine and olive presses. Subsequently, he learnt the art of polishing stones, became a master goldsmith, and also acquired the expertise to create lead moulds used for making trinkets. Drawing on this knowledge, Gutenberg adapted existing technology to design his innovation. The olive press provided the model for the printing press, and moulds were used for casting the metal types for the letters of the alphabet. By 1448, Gutenberg perfected the system.
The first book printed by him was the Bible. About 180 copies were printed and it took three years to produce them. By the standards of time this was fast production.
OR
(i) In 1836, Charles Dicken’s Pickwick Papers were serialised in a magazine.
(ii) Magazines were attractive and cheaper since they were illustrated.
(iii) Serialisation of novels allowed the readers to enjoy suspense and discuss the characters for weeks in the anticipation of next plot of the story.
(iv) Serialisation of novels not only increased the circulation of magazines but also made novels more popular.
