Vierde eeuwfeest van de uitvinding van de boekdrukkunst 1823

This small, circular medal, created by Joseph-Pierre Braemt in 1823, commemorates the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press. The obverse features a female figure representing "Typography," holding a torch and standing beside a printing press. The reverse is inscribed with a Latin phrase celebrating the invention and its impact on society. The medal, a prime example of commemorative art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the printing press.
