MAYER Rudolf - Gedruckte Kunst (The Art of Printing).

An excellent study for collectors, treating the art, techniques and history of printing. It describes in detail the various ways of printing and creating illustrations, points out the differences between specific artists (e.g. woodcutters of the 16th century), and includes descriptions of printing machines. In doing so, it does not focus solely on the European continent, also touching on rarely described Asian printing techniques. Numerous black and white illustrations, color insert.
