Printer Johannes Gutenberg

A portrait of Johannes Gutenberg (ca. 1390s-1468). Gutenberg originated the use of movable type printing in Europe. He may not have actually invented the idea of movable type, as it was in use in China before Gutenberg's time, but his innovation changed the world. The Gutenberg Bible is the most famous example of his press's work, and a few remaining examples reside in museums around the world. (Photo by © CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images)
