Synopsis
This book studies the remarkable evolution of printing technology during the latter part of the nineteenth century, particularly in regard to the artistic quality of printed work. The author traces the origins of the movement in America, where printing pioneers like Kelly and Bartholomew raised the standards of the industry. It then examines the influences of German and Austrian typography, exemplified in the work of figures like Watzulik and Knoer, and their impact on the development of British fine printing. The book illustrates how the innovations in type design, the improvements in printing machinery, and the introduction of new techniques such as halftone engraving, combined to revolutionize the possibilities of artistic expression in the printed word. The author argues that this development represents a significant turning point in the history of printing, transforming it from a purely mechanical process into a medium for high artistic achievement.
