A master printer, Richard-Gabriel Rummonds has written a work destined to become a standard text on the art of fine printing. Students, printers, and printing historians will find the new book enlightening and extremely instructive. Filling the need for a systematic, step-by-step manual for using this time-honored piece of equipment, the award-winning printer presents how to print on the iron handpress in comprehensive and thorough detail.
This work contains over 430 illustrations and technical diagrams meticulously drawn by George Laws, and 37 photographs of famous, historical and contemporary fine printers at their presses. End material include a glossary/index, bibliography, and a list of suppliers.
