The Graphics Union of Brussels is a centre for promotion, information and professional development in careers related to graphic arts, industries and techniques. Every year it organises a Gutenberg Evening, and this costume was presented on the 2nd of these occasions. Ever since printing was introduced to Europe, the typographer played a special role. While he was certainly a manual worker, he knew how to read and contributed to the dissemination of knowledge. He therefore wears a sword, as a reminder that his job was not purely physical in nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
