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. Our print is beautiful in its simplicity and clear design. A real typographic finesse: The red lines of the left and right columns, together with the centre margin, form a cross across the page. Our variants

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)

Reproducing ornamental pages from the 42-line Bible
Our Bible pages are reproduced in the tradition of Gutenberg. Pure linen papier bearing a watermark is created by hand with the greatest of care. The black text is printed on historical Gutenberg Museum machines. The rubrication, headings, ornaments and miniatures are drawn in and painted by hand with the utmost perfection by our book artists. True to the mediaeval art of book embellishment, first an initial drawing is made and then the gold leaf is applied. Only then do our artists begin to illuminate the prints in colour.
Applying the fine, raised gilt decoration is an ancient skill which very few artists still master. Here, a base material is applied to the paper layer by layer in an elaborate and time-consuming process to form a platform for the gold leaf.
Information on storage and frames
We supply our ornamental Bible prints in either a grey or burgundy presentation folder (format: 51 x 39 cm) together with a brochure on the Gutenberg Bible. If you would like your print framed, you can choose between a removable frame (format: 57.5 x 44 cm) and a handmade, airtight and dustproof frame with a gilt wooden trim. Both frames protect the costly gold leaf as the glass is raised from the passe-partout and thus from the surface of the print.
Please note: allow an extra one to two weeks for delivery of a print in a permanent frame.
