Printing In Relation To Graphic Art Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Printing in Relation to Graphic Art It is not the purpose of this book to try to establish a claim for printing that it is an art. It is hoped that it may show that the princi ples, of art may be applied to printing, and that such application may lead to improvement in some essentials of printing. Thanks are due to several experts in print ing who have read the proofs, and have given wise and acceptable counsel. I desire to acknowledge that aid has been freely sought from books upon art, and that in some instances forms of expression have been adopted from them.

Excerpt from Progress in Printing and the Graphic Arts During the Victorian Era I venture to protest against this view; and in the following pages hope to show that printing is by no means in a state of decadence. On the contrary, I will try to point out that very good printing is done. My Con tention is, in fact, that better printing has been done during the last sixty years - in each of the three principal branches of the business: job, news. And book printing - zthan was ever done before. To establish this it will only be necessary, I think, to contrast the workmanship, the appliances, the materials, of 1897 with those of 1837.

Excerpt from Design and Color in Printing The man who has the eye and intellect will invent beautiful propor tions, and can not help it; but he can not tell us how'to do it. There are one or two general laws that can be told; but they are of no use, indeed, except as preventatives of gross mistakes. John Ruskin.

Excerpt from Applied Design for Printers: A Handbook of the Principles of Arrangement, With Brief Comment on the Periods of Design Which Have Most Strongly Influenced Printing Due credit must be paid to Mr. Ernest Allen Batch elder, who first devoted his pen and brush directly to the printer's problem in design, and who in turn gives honor to the influence of Mr. Denman Ross. Neither has expressed a method but has graphically analyzed the attitude of mankind during successive epochs toward those matters which deal with beauty. It is to be hoped that this little book may serve as a simple guide and as a stimulant toward an extended study of the larger attributes of printing which are not concerned with utility alone. H. L.
