The listing, Great Britain: 1976, William Caxton 1476, 150th Anniv. of British Printing, Sc #GB-1016 - GBR-1900z has ended.

William Caxton (c. 1422 – c. 1491) was an English merchant, diplomat, and writer. He is thought to be the first person to introduce a printing press into England, in 1476, and as a printer was the first English retailer of printed books.

Neither his parentage nor date of birth is known for certain, but he may have been born between 1415 and 1424, perhaps in the Weald or wood land of Kent, perhaps in Hadlow or Tenterden. In 1438 he was apprenticed to Robert Large, a wealthy London silk mercer. . (Wikipedia) ... L1123 ...
