Cloth, colour roundel with vignette on front board, 4to, 30 cm, xii, 241, [16] pp, ills, facs, From the blurb: "Colour printing and the decoration and illustration of books and their bindings flourished in England in an extraordinary and unprecedented way between about 1830 and 1880. Ruari McLean describes how the period begins with the introduction of chromolithography and the inventions of Baxter and others, and ends with the introduction around 1880 of photo-mechanical methods, which spelled the death of the old hand crafts whose triumphs and even excesses are the subject of this book. Victorian Book Design, first published in 1963, is still the only full account of this fascinating period in printing history. For this second edition it has been greatly enlarged, with sixteen entirely new colour plates and numerous new black-and-white illustrations placed throughout the text.
