The Art of the Printmaker, 1500-1860 A. & C. Black, 2010 This book looks at the history of Art Printing from 1550 until 1860. The cut-off date of 1860 reflects the point where printmaking was becoming much more mechanical as opposed to being done mostly by hand. The Art of the Printmaker, in a highly visual manner, looks at the various printmaking techniques, explaining the processes and showing samples of the work done in the method. Each chapter has introductory information about the specific technique, but most of the story is told through the images and their detailed captions. The resuslt is a beautiful book that clearly explains the processes and shows fantastic results achieved by early printers. Nominated for the William M. B. Berger Prize for British Art History 2010.
