Description: from the back cover
There is little doubt that the remarkable history of printing in Britain was considerably enriched by the largely unheralded contributions made by the 19th century lithographic printers of Scotland. Published over 200 years after Senefelder’s discovery of the lithographic process in 1798, this is the first detailed investigation of the development of lithographic printing in Scotland. The nation-wide listing of its practitioners within the period 1820-1870, with their dates, addresses, and works, will be invaluable to all who are interested in early Scottish lithographs and artistic printmaking.
