Born about 1422 and learning the art of printing about the year 1471, William Caxton (center standing, bald) set up his printing press at Westminster in London, England. In this illustration, Caxton is seen explaining the printing press and its working to King Edward IV, who was deeply interested in the invention. The image is from a painting by Daniel Maclise.
