About This Item
London: Farrand Press, 1984. Hardcover. Good (Ex-art library, with plastic spine label; boards are edgeworn; i.d. marks on book block edges and outermost pages, incl. rear pocket; DJ may have foxing/edgewear/stickers; page margins are tanning lightly; text and illus. are good.). Blue cloth, gilt letters on spine; white and illus. DJ; 233 pp., 95 BW illus. "Engraving and printing techniques, paper and ink, and other materials and equipment are discussed and analyzed, and to these are added accounts of the publishers and their trade, of inventions, working methods, and developments both commercial and artistic. The work deals mainly with the trade in Britain, but draws too on business in Europe, whence many prints were imported and where, particularly later in the nineteenth century, some British publishers recruited engravers. A live export trade back to the Continent, to America, and to the Empire is also traced." (dj).
