  • First and only edition of a beautiful, important and practical manual of “decorative” printing (fine printing, colour printing, decorative ornament and illustration) compiled by the English printer and wood-engraver William Savage (1770–1843). It discusses printing presses, presswork (including the first clear and detailed description of make-ready), ink, types, paper and especially colour printing from multiple woodblocks, and is an essential reference for practicing fine printers, for the study of early 19th-century practice and for anyone with a practical, historical or bibliophile interest in colour printing. It is a pioneering work of colour printing, showing the author’s latest experimental techniques and materials. The wood-engraved illustration plates, some from designs by A.W. Callcott, John Varley, John Thurston, (Thomas?) Willemont and W.H. Brooke, show a wide variety of subjects and demonstrate the effects that can be achieved with different colours.
