Description
Not to be typecast as a Halloween bore, we're locking up an hour of your time with a little haunting of ghosts of printing past. o0o0oo0oOo0oh ....  In this episode we dive a little deeper into the lives of three printers who helped set printing history in motion. There's tales of being abandoned abroad, a few scandalous marriages, and of course, some really incredible inventions. Please enjoy this little slice of history, and if any past printers come visiting you in your dreams tonight.... we hope we'll be the first to know!  Links to photos discussed:  The Alligator  The Firefly  Research credit:  The life of Benjamin Franklin: https://www.abaa.org/members-articles/benjamin-franklins-job-printing http://www.benjamin-franklin-history.org/acquiring-skills-in-london/ The life of George Phineas Gordon: https://history-computer.com/george-phineas-gordon-biography-history-and-inventions/ Info on S&L: https://www.briarpress.org/23204
