The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra was a centre of printing and engraving. Its surviving publications include a large-format altar Gospel printed in 1707, during Ivan Mazepa’s hetmanship.
The exhibit uses a period European wooden screw press as a mechanical analogue. The machine’s proportions, workshop layout and specimen leaf are interpretive. One simulated cycle produces a single specimen impression.
