Printer's Devil
|
Explaining away printing errors.Whilst mistakes in setting type by hand, letter by letter, in reverse are inevitable, it was always the devil who, in the middle of the night, came by and upset the careful work of the day before - inverting letters, misspelling words, and missing out lines of type. This is one of several printers' and book dealers' signs to be found in the Minster Gates and Stonegate area. Walk on around this area and see the others. Photo: taken 8 May 2008. |
