The son of a merchant, Gutenberg grew up on a large agricultural estate.He had seen wine and olive presses from his childhood onwards. He subsequently learned the art of polishing stones, became a master goldsmith, and also acquired the knowledge to create lead molds used to make trinkets. Gutenberg modified existing technology to design his innovation, developing on this knowledge.The model for the printing press was provided by the olive press and molds were used for the letters of the alphabet to cast the metal types. Gutenberg had perfected the system by 1448. The Bible was the first book he printed. There were approximately 180 copies printed and it took three years to produce them. This was rapid production by the standards of the time.The Gutenberg press was the world's first printing press. In 1448, it was set up in Germany by Gutenberg. Books were written by hand before the advent of these press books and they were very expensive.
