GEORGE BAXTER, THE PICTURE PRINTER.
Lewis, C.T. Courtney
Lewis's third and most definitive book on Baxter. The book is an extraordinary piece of scholarship giving a biography of Baxter, a minute, technical description of the Baxter Process, as well as an account of its impact on the industry. Lewis has added a comprehensive checklist of Baxter's prints as well as the books, etc., in which they appeared. The checklist is filled with comments about the items described. Finally, Lewis has reprinted the 80 plates from his 1911 book on Baxter. This is a landmark book instrumental in any understanding of printing during the 19th century. Covers slightly faded.
