The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg around 1440 marked the beginning of a new era. For the first time, books could be produced in larger quantities, allowing knowledge to spread faster and more cheaply. The machine worked with movable metal letters that were arranged on a plate, inked, and pressed onto paper under a wooden press. The coloring page shows a typical press with a wooden frame and hand crank. You can see the characteristic cross beams and the rollers that illustrate the principle. In the Renaissance, printed flyers and books were important carriers of science, religion, and art. Later, printing houses emerged across Europe, and typography evolved further. This motif is excellent if you want to learn more about historical technologies while having fun painting.

The typical printing press consists of a wooden frame and metal parts. When coloring, various shades of brown are suitable for the wood – from light ochre to dark mahogany. The rollers and metal fittings look great in shades of gray or silver. In the background, you can add a gentle parchment beige or a muted sky blue to give depth to the image. Red or blue accents on handles or screws give the motif a historical touch. You receive the coloring page as a high-quality JPG and can download it for free.
