The Caxton Celebration of 1877 commemorated the 400th anniversary of William Caxton's production of the first book printed in England. The catalogue, compiled by the librarian George Bullen (1816?–94), moves from the start of printing in Britain to the most recent technological innovations, including stereotyping, electrotyping and photography.
