Gutenberg-Bibel II/235, The Gospel of John (1,1-15): »In principio erat verbum« »In the beginning was the Word« This page from the first printed book in the world is a wonderful gift for all those who work in modern or historic media.

The outlines of ornamentation are also printed.  Hand-coloured Ribbed deckle-edge paper, format 42 x 30 cm, frame format 48 x 36 cm  The standard pages (see above) are coloured by hand by our artists using tempera and gold inks.  Hand-gilded  Format ca. 45 x 32 cm, frame format 54 x 43 cm These high-quality prints are produced as a handpress print in three colours on the Korrex Hannover on handmade paper bearing the Gutenberg Museum watermark. Finely embossed gold embellishments are added to the tempera ink colouring using a skill very few artists still master. A base material is applied to the paper layer by layer in an elaborate and time-consuming process to form a platform for the 22-carat gold leaf. This raises the ornaments from the surface of the paper to perfectly display the elegant shimmer of real gold. Deluxe (Berlin Bible)Deluxe (Göttingen Bible)
