See More... Rummonds, Richard-Gabriel NINETEENTH-CENTURY PRINTING PRACTICES AND THE IRON HANDPRESS
2 volumes. New Castle Oak Knoll Press and the British Library 2004 small 4to. cloth, dust jackets 1152 pages
First edition. Nineteenth-Century Printing Practices and the Iron Handpress is encyclopedic in its examination of printing techniques from the late-seventeenth-century through the nineteenth-century. Using selected readings from printers' manuals - beginning with Joseph Moxon's Mechanick Exercises, 1683, and culminating with John Southward's Practical Printing, 1900 - Gabriel Rummonds has distilled over two hundred years of printers' wisdom into this very readable and important work on iron handpresses and how they were used in the nineteenth century.

This remarkable work represents over twenty years of research and scholarship by one of the most celebrated fine-press printers of the twentieth century. With almost five hundred rare and scarce wood cuts, engravings and photographs, and the most comprehensive annotated bibliography on the subject ever printed, this monumental, two-volume work stands alone in the annals of printing history. Nineteenth-Century Printing Practices and the Iron Handpress is a worthy companion to Rummonds' 1998 classic, Printing on the Iron Handpress. Contains 480 illustrations.

London Groombridge and Sons 1854 8vo. modern cloth, rear pastedown used to mount thirteen specimens of red wax seals, top edge gilt, foredge uncut. vii, 356 pages, with 90 illustrations, engravings, and specimens.
Third edition, first illustrated edition. (Bridson & Wakeman B59; Honeyman no.2844; absent from AMEX Coll. Cat.). A fascinating book. J.W. Gilbart, manager of the London and Westminster Bank, offered a prize for the essay that best showed how the articles and inventions shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851 could be put to service in the banking industry. This essay by Granville Sharp won. The first two editions did not include the illustrations and samples. For this third edition, the publisher collected handbills, trade catalogues, flyers, samples, and ephemera from each of the exhibitors and bound them with the essay. This edition thus served as a virtual trade catalogue for the banking industry. Among the widely varied specimens are checks, security paper and envelopes, watermarking techniques, paper samples, banknotes illustrating various engraving techniques, photographic reproductions illustrating procedures to foil counterfeiting of banknotes, seal cutters, and ink specimen sheets filled out by hand, as well as color lithographic illustrations. Also includes catalogues for office machine manufacturers and materials on bank buildings, interior decoration, plumbing, and security measures. This copy is missing eighteen plates and two are damaged, viz, #3 Perkins' Bank Note, with combination of difficult engraving, #3A Ditto "faced" upon Perkins and Co's patent for the prevention of anastatic and photographic forgery, #6 Fisher's bank note, printed by one impression, #7 Ditto, Bill of Exchange, ditto, #9 Batho's Water Colour cheque, "London and Westminster Bank", #11 Ditto, Water Colour and Copper Plate Cheque, at two impressions, "Harris and Co., Bradford", #13 Nissen's Cheques, upon paper tinted in the pulp, #13G-H, & 13J-M Various Lithographic Cheques and Imitations, #14 Portal's watermark for Bank Notes, by Moulds and Dies, #15 Saunders' Watermark, #16 Ditto, #17 Wildes' Floreated Watermark, #18 Saunders' Parchment Paper for Bank Notes, &c., &c., #89 Horne's decorations. #13F has the signature cut out, and #51 has the specimen envelope removed. The Honeyman copy was also missing other plates and, indeed, a check of all known copies would probably yield various plates missing in the different copies as these copies were individually put together from available samples. With the bookplate of Gavin Bridson. Front pastedown rubbed.

See More... Staikos, Konstantinos Sp. CHARTA OF GREEK PRINTING.
The contribution of Greek editors, printers and publishers to the Renaissance in Italy and the West. Volume I: Fifteenth century. Cologne Verlag J. Dinter 1998 4to. cloth, stiff paper slipcase. lxx, 557+(1) pages, with one loose sheet laid in.
First edition. With the patronage and interest of Italian humanists and humanistically inclined rulers, Greek scholars, translators and teachers were already established in Italy at the time of the introduction of printing (which happened to come at about the time of the fall of the Byzantine Empire). It was quickly realized that printing provided an opportunity for disseminating classical Greek texts and their translations, as a kind of extension of the teaching of Greek and classical Greek literature already taking place. Thus Greek texts, and persons able to copy, edit and translate these texts were needed, as well as individuals skilled in designing Greek types and printing in Greek. The first Italian book in Greek appeared in Milan, c. 1470. This book, volume one of a proposed history of pre-19th-century Greek printing, concentrates on five topics of the incunabula period: Greek-owned printing presses, editions of classical texts published by Italian presses with Greek participation, Greek books published by Italian printers, Latin translations (mostly by Greeks), and the production and use of Greek type, whether in Greek or non-Greek texts. The fourteen chapters are monographs of varying length, each organized around a Greek scholar, writer, editor, type-designer or printer, with a discussion of that person's life and works, a discussion of associates, and of printings and publications. For example, the discussion of Aldus Manutius constitutes a subsection of the chapter on Aldus' Greek collaborator and editor, Markos Mousouros. Persons selected did not necessarily have a direct connection with printing; Manuel Chrysoloaris, for example, died in Italy in 1415, but he was an influential teacher, one of whose works was repeatedly printed in the incunabula era. On the other hand, Zacharias Kallierges and Nikolaos Vlastos appear because they operated a Greek press in Venice and may have designed type. Chapters have extensive footnotes. There are also six tables, a list of abbreviations, a bibliography, and a general index. One-hundred twenty-eight illustrations include facsimiles of printed and manuscript texts, engraved portraits, printers' and publishers' marks, decorated Greek initials, and some headpieces. Laid-in at the back is a folded "Historical Map of Greek Printing" (14 x 25 in.). First published in Greek in 1989.

New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 9 x 12.25 inches hardcover 550 pages
Greek Library is a bibliography of the collection of Konstantinos Sp. Staikos acquired by the Library of the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation. This collection represents the entire spectrum of the intellectual pursuits of the Greeks of the Diaspora, extending over a period from the Early Renaissance until the late years of Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment. The books in this collection not only exemplify Greek printing and publishing activities, but they demonstrate the participation of Greeks in international politics and religious matters in the courts of empires such as Russia and Austria.

The collection includes more than 1,200 titles divided into five sections. The first section, Renaissance-Humanism, discusses first editions of Greek literature, grammaires, and Lexikons. The other sections examine Neo-Hellenic literature, liturgies, theology, and the Neo-Hellenic Enlightenment. Among these sections, poetry, novels, mythistories, gospels, psalters, the Old and New Testament, Works of the Greek Fathers, Dogmatic works, translations of European literature, and specimens of Greek typography in many places are examined.

For each listed book, full bibliographical notes, references in standard bibliographies, provenance, comments, notes, and descriptions by the writer are provided. There are over 700 printers' marks listed, as well as many title pages and portraits of writers, publishers, and editors. A general introduction, introductions for each section, a general index, and an index of printers are also included.

Watts & Co. and published in June, 1813, bears a statement on the title page... This, though, is not the first book printed from stereotype plates in America; in 1812 the Philadelphia Bible Society had printed a bible from plates imported from London."
