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).

Wolfe, Richard J. JACOB BIGELOW'S AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANY, 1817-1821.
An Examination of the Origin, Printing, Binding and Distribution of America's First Color Plate Book, With Special Emphasis on the Manner of Making and Printing Its Colored Plates. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2012 6 x 9 inches hardcover 128 pages
Second edition, limited to 260 copies.

Jacob Bigelow's American Medical Botany, published in three volumes between 1817 and 1821 and containing sixty colored plates, occupies a unique place in American book printing and book illustration. Of all the books published in the United States before the mid-nineteenth century introduction of chromolithography, it was the only one to have its plates mechanically printed in color, not colored by hand in the usual manner of the day.

Richard J. Wolfe's classic study of this seminal work, issued initially in 1979 and now reissued in a revised and augmented edition, has made use of Dr. Bigelow's previously unavailable manuscript papers and other previously unknown or little known records to come up with some startling conclusions. His investigations show that Dr. Bigelow's original plan was to have his plates colored by hand by artists. But this plan proved overly ambitious and the project faced failure. So, he and those working with him invented a method of printing the book's plates on stone in a simple manner that prefigured and predated chromolithography by about two decades, thus enabling him to bring his projected work to a successful conclusion. Wolfe's investigation of the origin, printing, binding, and distribution through subscription of this signal work also constitutes an important case study of the production, from conception to completion, of a significant book of that early period.

The 1979 edition of Wolfe's work went out of print quickly. As in that edition, this second edition contains, tipped in, two of Bigelow's original plates, one left uncolored and one colored by hand. These plates were rendered obsolete when the doctor and his cohorts discovered a novel way of printing them in color.
