A History of Chromolithography: Printed Colour for All

"This book offers--for the first time since the process was in its heyday--a detailed account of how chromolithographs were made. But whereas contemporary writers focused on the methods and practices of their own time, the author traces their evolution over a period of a hundred years. Some of the methods he describes and illustrates are so extraordinary that they require readers in our digital age to suspend their disbelief. Drawing on a variety of sources--manuals, journals, correspondence, preparatory drawings, proofs, interviews with people in the trade, as well as the products themselves--he provides fascinating insights into the methods and skills of the chromolithographer"--Dust jacket front flap.
