Roots of Knowledge Project

Roots of Knowledge is a permanent stained glass display completed in 2016 at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah, United States. This 200 ft long mural chronicling human innovation throughout time and cultures was a herculean effort that the UK's Guardian Newspaper referred to as, "one of the most spectacular stained glass windows made in the past century."

This particular panel shows Gutenberg inspecting a sheet that has come off the press shown to his right

Gutenberg  Reich Exhibition Leipzig  1940

An exhibition was planned for 1940 to celebrate the invention of printing. The event was to take place in Leipzig, a centre of book production and the Reich's "fair city" (Reichsmessestadt). The exhibition was planned as a large-scale international event, whose aim was not only to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Johannes Gutenberg's invention but also to propagate the achievements of National Socialist Germany. The exhibition, as its organisers planned it, never took place. Instead, a memorial festivity for Gutenberg on a much smaller scale was carried out in Leipzig in 1940.
