Notes

Printer Wynkyn De Worde [d.1534] emigrated from his supposed home in the region of Alsace-Lorraine and began printing in England toward the end of the 15th century with William Caxton. After Caxton’s death in 1492, de Worde took over his printing press in Westminster in 1495. De Worde's style leaned toward the heavier use of woodblock illustrations (only about 20 of Caxton's editions contained woodcuts while 500 of Wynkyn de Worde's editions were illustrated). De Worde was the first to use italic type (1528) and Hebrew and Arabic characters (1524) in English books, and his 1495 version of Polychronicon by Ranulf Higden was the first English work to use movable type to print music.

De Worde was the first printer to set up site on Fleet Street, (moving Caxton's print shop from Westminster in 1500) which for centuries became synonymous with printing. He was also the first printer to build a bookstall in St Paul's Churchyard, which soon became a center of the book trade in London. The site of his press is marked by a plaque on the wall of the hall of the Worshipful Company of Stationers off Ludgate Hill and Ave Maria Lane, near St Paul's Cathedral in London.
