Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 250 pp. 1,754 entries. From the introduction: "The bibliography is classified under six broad headings - A Printmaking & picture printing in general; B Intaglio plate processes; C Relief block processes; D Planographic (lithographic) processes; E Photo-mechanical processes; F Periodicals consulted. Section E is subdivided according to photo-mechanical processes that correspond to sections A to D. In order to keep this work within reasonably handy proportions we have confined our annotations to selected works and have prefaced each section with some Introductory notes which highlight 'key' works in that field. For less familiar processes we have also given an outline of the principal techniques and their development.Collations are kept to a minimum and text illustrations are not generally mentioned. Plates, however, are always noted and, in the happy event that they represent actual examples of graphic processes described, we have recorded their details.Two indexes conclude the work. One lists authors and all others who contributed to any publication, whether translators, editors, or even correspondents The other is a subject index and includes contemporary names, patent titles, and popular terms for individual graphic processes, with cross-references from alternative terms. The structure of the index segregates the contemporary technical literature from subsequent historical studies. To assist those who are looking for examples of the many graphic processes the index provides, for each process, the sub-heading, 'specimens' (where they exist)."

Edition of 550 copies. Cloth, printed cover-illustration, 8vo, 22 cm, xii, 127 pp, ills. From the preface: "The authors have often been asked while compiling this book what they mean by colour illustration. For our purpose it is largely defined as an illustration which has passed more than once through the press. We have thus included tinted work on the grounds that printers often started in this way who later progressed to full-scale colour work. We have included as many printers as we could find whose work appeared in books. Very occasionally a printer has been included of whose work no example has yet been found. Lithographic artists are not included . The book deals only with British printers; continental firms.have generally been excluded unless they had a London office." A valuable guide to some 222 firms whose colour-printed work has been identified in books. From a contemporary review: "Firms are recorded in alphabetical order, their history is sketched in briefly but adequately when known, and there are details of their earliest and latest known publications; other works are noted if they have some special significance. Short technical descriptions help to clarify the processes used, and many entries indicate further sources of information. Lastly, addresses of the printing establishments are recorded, with the operating dates for each of the premises. Thus we are offered more than a mere directory of printers. Something of a firm's likely relevance to a particular line of research may be gauged from the entries, for this collection of information is clearly the fruit of a long and detailed association with the original material, and this has led to full appreciations of individual publications in relation to the development of the numerous colour printing processes of the time.

Cloth, 4to, 28 cm, xxxvii, 450 pp, ills. 7,670 entries. From the blurb: "This is the first comprehensive listing of the considerable body of primary instructional, or "how to draw" books, and non-scientific iconographical. or "pattern" books published for artists and designers, and the ever growing corpus of secondary historical, critical, bibliographical, and biographical scholarship on natural history and human anatomical illustration. Literature on "nature printing" is included and a major feature of this guide is its extensive coverage of literature on nature photography. Photography, first introduced in 1839, was slow to gain acceptance in natural history illustration but eventuaily found its place and has now grown to achieve equal status with the artist in the preparation of modern illustration. The arrangement of this handlist of about 7670 references, dating from the early 18th century, is by subject with major sections on "Nature in general " "Plants," "Animals," and "The Human Body," each including four categories of literature: primary literature on hand-created illustration methods from the 16th century to the present day; secondary literature on the history and criticism of natural history illustration (inciuding catalogues of collections, exhibitions and displays of original artworks or book illustrations); selected literature on the history of plant, animal, and anatomical representation in art; and primary and secondary literature on illustrative photography from the 1840s to the present day. The final section is "Artist biographies," which includes biographies, critical studies. and exhibition catalogues of individual artists, illustrators and photographers. Extensive title, subject and name indexes provide access to these classified lists. Plant, Animal and Anatomical illustration in Art and Science is primarily intended for historians of science, but is atso intended to be useful to the artists, illustrators, students and amateurs who create images, as well as to the librarians, bibliographers, antiquarian booksellers, and others who encounter plant, animal, and anatomical illustration in the course of their activities. This bibliography undoubtedly will help to create greater appreciation and understanding of the role played by instructional literature in the development of plant, animal, and anatomical themes in the history of art and scientific illustration." Balay, EA220 : "Within sections, entries are arranged chronologically except for collections and exhibitions subsections where entries are by country and institution, and section 6 [artist biographies], which is alphabetical by artist. Entries contain full bibliographic details with some notes to reference sources and catalogs consulted." Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper.…
