Heinrich Knfler (1824 Ð 1886) was the foremost German lithographer of the period. He began printing professionally in 1850 and became known for his luxuriously chromolithographed books and individual prints. Knfler, in collaboration with his brother Rudolf, established a reputation for his Catholic artwork and facsimiles of medieval manuscripts. Some of his finest work appeared in an 1861 Catholic Missal (published by Reuss in Vienna), H. von WiessenbachÕs Der Xylographische Farbendruck (1878), and F. von SeeburgÕs Der Aegyptische Joseph (also 1878). John Camden Hotten (1832 Ð 1873) was an author, bookseller, publisher, and journalist. He published works by Swinburne, including his Poems and Ballads (1866), as well as William Blake: A Critical Essays (1868), which was illustrated with hand-colored lithographs. He was also the first publisher to reprint an entire work by Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1867), since BlakeÕs death. Hotten was a controversial, illustrious figure who also published works like unauthorized editions of Twain and Tennyson and (possibly) operated a small circulating library of pornography. Quarto.
