Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and nature of printing as an art form, beginning with its roots in medieval calligraphy and illumination. The author argues that early printed books, produced before the widespread adoption of movable type, were created with a level of care and attention to detail that has been largely lost in modern printing practices. The author traces the decline of printing as an art form to the industrial revolution and the rise of mass production, arguing that these factors led to a focus on speed and efficiency at the expense of aesthetic considerations. The book also examines the work of William Morris, the founder of the Kelmscott Press, who sought to revive the art of fine printing in the late 19th century. The author discusses Morris's philosophy of printing and his belief in the importance of creating beautiful and well-crafted books. The book concludes by arguing that the Kelmscott Press, though short-lived, was highly influential in the revival of interest in fine printing and helped to inspire a new generation of printers and designers.
