This is terrific! I have been looking for a good explanation with clear video to show my students. One of my students found this one and my search is over. Thanks for such a great job!
I have been trying to learn about Victorian type setting as a profession.With little luck unfortunately, so Im just going to take a chance and ask here. The people who were the type setters. What kind of education would they need if any for such a job? Was this work white collar or more blue? A nice middle class income or just putting food on the table? Any Ideas?
EmPi - not entirely sure but from what I have read it seems that they could have been working class or middle class. It appears that printers were paid exceptionally good wages, and to become a printer's apprentice was a good choice to make. I do know that printers made sure that their apprentices were literate, so even if you had never been to school a good printer would teach you how to read and write if you couldn't already do so. Printing may have been a working class profession but it was a stepping stone for a working class boy to move up to the middle classes.
Progress of printing didn't change, just using machines made by metal instead of wood, you are right. But people rarely use printed materials in current days. Everything is via online like I Pads and smart phones.
I would beg to differ. Printed materials are around you. The only part of the printing industry internet has changed is publications. But, come to think of it...printing in the 1400s was kind of like the internet of today...hmmmm.

The matrix made by the punch was copper, not wood. Gutenberg's paper was made from linen, not cotton.
