Book Description
Excerpt from The Country Printer: An Essay As long as he remained in business he remained a country editor and a country printer; he began to study medicine when he was a young man, but he abandoned it for the calling of his life without regret, and, though with his speculative and in ventive temperament he was tempted to experi ment in other things, I do not think he would ever have lastingly forsaken his newspaper for them. In fact, the art of printing was in our blood; it never brought us great honor or profit; and we were always planning and dreaming to get out of it, or get it out of us; but we are all in some sort bound up with it still. To me it is now so endeared by the associations of childhood that I cannot breathe the familiar odor of types and presses without emotion; and I should not be sur prised if I found myself trying to cast a halo of romance about the old-fashioned country office in what I shall have to say of it here.

Book Description
Eighteenth Century Colour Prints An Essay on Certain Stipple Engravers & Their Work in Colour was written by the British novelist Julia Frankau. While Frankau wrote many novels over the course of her life, she spent her later years focused more heavily on non-fiction works with subjects ranging from printing, to artwork, and engraving. This particular book focuses on printing and engraving, specifically as it pertains to the creation of full color images in books. The illustration of books includes both full color images and the large intricately colored letters at the beginning of chapters is a practice almost as old as the written word itself. In her book, Frankau aims to enlighten readers who are curious about the creation of color images in print and the process by which images are colored for books. The text thoroughly describes both how the artist forms letters and images and how the artist colors these for publication. Frankau expresses the fervent hope that her book will grant the reader a full understanding of the proper procedure for creating and printing color in books.. Eighteenth Century Colour Prints An Essay on Certain Stipple Engravers & Their Work in Colour is an interesting book for any art student, printer, publisher, book aficionado, or historian. Julia Frankau presents a thoroughly engaging and understandable discussion on the proper way to create and print color images in books. This book is a great resource for readers interested in the topic of color prints and for readers interested in the history of books and publishing.

Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Book Description
An essay upon prints By William Gilpin Clergyman, schoolmaster and writer on aesthetics, William Gilpin (1724-1804) is best known for his works on the picturesque. His approach as a teacher was enlightened: during his time as headmaster of Cheam School, his aim was to prepare his pupils for life. Moving in 1777 to become vicar of Boldre, Hampshire, where he remained for the rest of his life, he was able to endow two schools there with income from his successful writings. This knowledgeable appraisal of the print as an art form, and of its foremost practitioners, was first published anonymously in 1768 to positive reviews. It defines picturesque as 'a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty, which is agreeable in a picture'. Gilpin further developed and explored the concept in his volumes of Observations on various parts of Britain, which are also reissued in this series. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
