Sinopsis
A comprehensive survey of printing in the first machine age. The rapid growth and development of printing resulted from the same factors which caused changes in society at large - expansion of trade, improved communications and pressure for the propagation of ideas. The changes are reflected most in ephemeral categories of printing and it is these areas that Twyman mostly illustrates, with over 900 examples reproduced. The first narrative section covers the printing of both words and pictures, describing the many new techniques developed in this period and the changing approaches to design. The book's second section presents a wealth of illustrated material in five sections - ceremony, rural life, transport, wars and exhibitions. In addition to providing reproductions of printed artefacts - from luxurious colour prints to humble train timetables - this section also provides a historical record of the period.

Cloth, folio, viii, 285 pp, 880 black-and-white and 42 colour ills. From the blurb: "The rapid growth and development of printing from the end of the eighteenth century resulted from the same factors that caused changes in British society at large - expansion of trade, improved communications, and pressure for the propagation of ideas. Both from the design and technical standpoints, however, the changes are reflected most in periodical and jobbing work and in ephemeral printing generally; and it is these areas, rather than traditional book production, that Michael Twyman discusses and illustrates as he traces the development of printing in England over the last two hundred years. What emerges especially from his study is the change in approach to design, for example in advertising and display, that led ultimately to the new profession of graphic design in the present century. It follows therefore that this book will be of special value to students of graphic design and typography; at the same time, because Michael Twyman writes with an easy fluency and seeks to avoid technical terms, it will be of considerable appeal to everyone interested in printing and social history. In the first, narrative section, he covers the printing of both words and pictures, gives a brief background of the industry, and describes the growth of the many techniques used and of technology and design. Then, in the illustration section, he concentrates on five themes -Ceremony, Rural life, Transport, Wars, Exhibitions - in order to convey the variety of printing produced in the last two hundred years and provide also a vivid record of aspects of the history of the period. Michael Twyman's book, through its concise, knowledgeable text and its wealth of illustration, is, like the John Johnson Collection which has contributed so importantly to the illustrations, a mine of information, much of it not hitherto available, on the history of printing and on the social and economic history of the last two hundred years."
