A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nineteenth-Century Printing Practices and the Iron Handpress is encyclopedic in its examination of printing techniques from the late-seventeenth-century through the nineteenth-century. Using selected readings from printers' manuals - beginning with Joseph Moxon's Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing, 1683, and culminating with John Southward's Practical Printing, 1900 - Gabriel Rummonds has distilled over two hundred years of printers' wisdom into this very readable and important work on iron handpresses and how they were used in the nineteenth century. This remarkable work represents over twenty years of research and scholarship by one of the most celebrated fine press printers of the twentieth-century. With almost five hundred rare and scarce wood cuts, engravings and photographs, and the most comprehensive annotated bibliography on the subject ever printed, this monumental, two-volume work stands alone in the annals of printing history. Nineteenth-Century Printing Practices and the Iron Handpress is a worthy companion to Rummonds' 1998 classic, Printing on the Iron Handpress
