A bit of the history of printing in Europe
Who is William Kexton? An English first printer, in the 70s of the 15th century, founded the first printing house in London, where not only church books were printed, but also secular works. In 1472, he printed the world’s first poster and hung it at the entrance to the church. Of course, the poster advertised a church book, but it is still considered the first print advertisement in Europe.
During his career, William Kexton published 108 works, most of which were of secular content. He published Chaucer, Boccaccio, Boethius, Virgil. And a special place was occupied by the translated into English “Death of Arthur” by Mallory. The reason is simple: they bought well.
Printed copies were sold to the nobility, aristocrats as entertainment reading. And this was in stark contrast to the policies of Gutenberg, who, in fact, invented the print press. The German book printer mostly published religious works, and Caxton earned money by printing secular books.
