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. Very Good in slightly fingersoiled dustwrapper.

LONDON, FABER AND FABER, 1972. 2ND EDITION. A VERY GOOD COPY IN A VERY GOOD DUSTWRAP.

London: Faber & Faber, 1972. Second revised. Hardcover. Very Good +/very good +. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Illustrated throughout in b/w, with 16 different color plates than the first edition, but which "relate to them", as McLean states. McLean approached this book not as an examination of book illustration in the Victorian era, as so many already have, but as a factual account of the process and materials and labor that went into the actual making of the book. The scope of the book is therefore narrowed to the period between the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, to the establishing of The Kelmscott Press in 1890. McLean goes into impressive detail, from the evolution of the use of color in childrens books, to the detailed guaffering of SAKOONTALA - published, printed, and bound by Stephen Austin. It's a fascinating look at Victorian era book design (and production), and an invaluable reference for the field. 9"x11.5"; xii, 241 pages. Beige cloth with… Read More
