London; Farrand Press & Private Libraries Association; (1990). ***Finely printed from waterless lithographic plates. The invention of lithography by Alois Senefelder in 1796 made possible the production of books without the use of metal or wooden type. It revolutionized publishing, making it possible to reproduce short-hand symbols, calligraphy, facsimiles, maps & military plans, music, accounting tables, and other sorts of hand-drawn material cheaply and efficiently. The result of twenty years of scholarship by Michael Twyman following the 1970 publication of his book, Lithography, by Oxford University Press, this remarkable book is the first to give a comprehensive history of early books produced by the application of Senefelder s method and in addition to the extensive text, the book features a bibliographic catalogue of over 420 lithographed books from the nineteenth century. Each entry has a full collation, publication price (when available), and other useful annotations. It is the first such catalogue of early lithographed books available and is extremely useful to collectors, booksellers, librarians, and scholars interested in the field. The comprehensive text includes chapters on Lithographic incunables; Military manuals: the presses at Chatham and Metz; The lithographic publications of Sir Thomas Phillipps; Books on accounting and other difficult composition ; Music method books; Non-latin scripts; Lithography and phonography: The books of Isaac Pitman; Books with pictures; Reprints of books and facsimiles of old documents; Facsimiles of autographs; and Photolithographed facsimiles and reprints, etc. #36270 A$145.00
