Phot.France.Strasbourg.Pl.Gutenberg.Carrousel.01.081120.3791.jpg

France, Alsace, Strasbourg, Place Gutenberg, with a historic two stage carrousel from 1900. This old carousel horses & all other figures are still made from wood & not of plastic.

 

The Place Gutenberg was built around 1100, in the centre of the square stands the statue of the printer Johannes Gutenberg by David d'Angers., holding in his hands a parchment where it is written: "Et la lumière fut", -and the light was-.

Gutenberg, born in Mainz, Germany, did indeed invent the printing press in Strasbourg, or at least did his first printing work, notably that of the Bible.
