Potter's Wax Museum- William Caxton

(1422-1491)

This photograph from Potter's Wax Museum shows a wax figure of William Caxton, the first English printer. His printing press made possible many of the printed works of the Elizabethan era. Caxton continued printing his whole life, even hours before his death.
