Twyman, Michael A HISTORY OF CHROMOLITHOGRAPHY.
Printed Colour For All New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2013 9 x 12 inches hardcover, dust jacket 728 pages
The book is the first since the process was in its heyday to offer a detailed account of how chromolithographs were made, tracing the evolution of this hand-drawn color-printing process from its tentative beginnings in Germany in the early nineteenth century to its spread from Europe to the United States and beyond. Drawing on a variety of sources - manuals, journals, correspondence, preparatory drawings, proofs, interviews with people in the trade, as well as the products themselves - the author provides fascinating insights into the methods and skills of the chromolithographer.

This is also the first book to consider chromolithography from a global standpoint. It gives particular attention to the movement of artists, printers, equipment, materials, products, and ideas across national boundaries, and contextualizes all this with respect to the development of the lithographic trade and its organization.

At one end of the market chromolithography met a voracious demand for color printing in everyday life; at the other, it was applied to work of real quality: illustrations (for science, art, architecture, and design), reproductions of famous and popular paintings, maps and atlases, facsimiles of manuscripts, book covers, posters, and high-end product catalogues. All are discussed in the context of other color processes and illustrated with examples drawn from a dozen or so countries.

With 850 color illustrations and an extensive index, this book is an essential resource for those interested in chromolithography.

Michael Twyman is Emeritus Professor of Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading, and has played an active role in several societies concerned with printing, particularly the Printing Historical Society and the Ephemera Society. His publications include many articles and book chapters, in addition to over a dozen books, among them: Printing 1770-1970 (1970; 1998), Lithography 1800-1850 (1970), Early lithographed books (1990), Early lithographed music (1996), The British Library guide to printing (1998), Breaking the mould: the first hundred years of lithography (2001), and Images en couleur (2007).
