Description

Cassell and Company Ltd, London, first edition, 1969. Cloth, 4to,. 227, [1] pp. From the blurb: "[The book is] a compendium of key facts in the history of all aspects of the art. Clearly in so wide a field, which includes not only the history of the invention of printing, of its practitioners and of its spread throughout Europe and the world, but also of printing machinery, of type foundries, of type design and of letter forms, of chemical processes in printing and of book and newspaper illustration, to mention but some of the topics covered, great care has had to be exercised both in the selection from this mass of material and in its presentation. Every effort has been made to avoid any particular bias either national or to any one aspect of printing or publishing history, and the author's aim has been to provide the widest possible range of information rather than to enter into detailed discussion of any particular topic. .. an index of over 10,000 references has been provided as a key to this storehouse of solid factual information.
