Stradanus' Printing Office, ca. 1600. One of the earliest known views of a complete
printing
establishment, designed by Joannes Stradanus (d. 1605) and engraved
by Philippus Galleus
(d. 1612). The caption can be translated as: "The printing of books.
As one sound can be taken
in by many ears, so single type compositions impress a thousand
pages."
