Very watchable video, and well pieced together. It sure is an art form now and I can see it's appeal. So many early bibles made like this. The history of letterpress is awesome.. Great work.

Big Thanks for sharing this. Iam learning more about printing process now-a-days and the way it works in photoshop and traditional. Iam doing everything by hand there's so much satisfaction when you do it physically and not dependent on computer. This video is so beautiful.

You can see all the notes in my blog (beekeepersblog.com)
