  • Originally published in Paris in 1819, this first English edition appeared one year later. This was the second major manual of lithography in English. “Whilst Senefelder described all the technicalities of lithography it was Hullmandel who was to prove the greatest influence in establishing the process as a successful illustration medium in England. A skilled lithographic printer and a tireless worker in the improvement of both the artistic and presswork components of the process, his writings occupy a key place in the English lithographic literature. In 1820 he translated Raucourt de Charleville’s useful manual.” - Bridson & Wakeman, p. 128 and D14. Bigmore & Wyman II, p. 240. Twyman, Lithography, pp. 110-114 and 269 giving a good discussion of the work. The two lithographic plates illustrate presses and other appliances. (Charles Wood, Cat. 160)
