"Moxon's Mechanick Exercises, Volume 1 (of 2): The Doctrine of Handy-works" by Joseph Moxon is a historical publication focused on the art of printing likely written in the late 17th century. The work serves as a comprehensive guide detailing the mechanics of type-founding and printing processes, as well as broader mechanical arts. It provides insight into the developments in printing technology and standards of craftsmanship of its time, aimed particularly at printers and type-founders." "The opening of the book introduces Joseph Moxon and outlines his background, emphasizing his contributions to the fields of mathematics and typography. It describes the historical context regarding the invention of printing, highlighting the rivalry between figures in Haarlem and Mainz for the title of inventor. Moxon's preface also discusses his own journey in learning the art of type-founding and the evolution of printing techniques during his lifetime. It sets the stage for the more detailed exploration of practical printing methods and equipment that follows in the subsequent sections." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
