The modern fine press movement had its origins in Britain with the founding of the Kelmscott Press in Hammersmith, London, in 1890-1891. Though short-lived, the Kelmscott Press provided the inspiration for a renewed interest in quality, hand press printing, and many other fine presses were soon established all over Britain. This renewed interest continues to this day, though the movement's heyday extended only until the 1930s. Although the Kelmscott Press, and the fine press movement more generally, were influential outside Britain, especially in America, British presses were nevertheless at the forefront of fine press printing throughout the movement's history.
