Photo-Trichromatic Printing in Theory and Practice.

First edition. 52 pp. plus 2 plates printed in trichromatic color, numerous textual illustrations. The last 4 pages are ads for the A. B. Fleming printing company. Publishers green cloth with gilt cover lettering, yellow endpapers. Over-opened a bit at title page but sound. A very good copy."This book is a model of neatness and printing, and harmonises well with the subject of which it treats. The author has not attempted an elaborate text-book on the optical sciences of chromatics and spectroscopy, but states in a straightforward and clear manner the outlines of the causes of colour phenomena and the effects of pigmentary mixtures and combinations. A perusal of the fifty pages shows that Mr. Zander has adopted a very happy arrangement for the sequence of the matter dealt with, making the book easy reading for even those who are not very familiar with the subject." (Nature, 1897). "Two plates, one a color chart showing the primaries and secondaries, one a three-color Half-tone from a painting. Three half-tone illustrations from photographs of the plant of A.B. Fleming & Co., ink manufacturers. Theory of three-color printing as well as a short history and discussion of ink types that were suitable. Blocks by Heliochrome Co., Ltd., London. Printed by De Montfort Press. Inks by A.B. Fleming & Co., Ltd., London and Edinburgh. [One] of the earliest publications on three-color half-tone."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 127.C.G. Zander, born in Austria in 1861, moved to England in 1880 and became a specialist in colored inks. He was an employee of the A. B. Fleming Company.…
