Omschrijving
From the practical challenges of polychromatic printing or printing music staves and notes to the techniques for illustrating books with woodcuts, producing books for children and the design of the first fonts, these stories chart the invention of the printed book, the world’s first means of mass communication.
'Offers some beautiful ornate examples to linger over, but the reader is never allowed to forget that the Renaissance book was a product of painstaking labour and mechanical ingenuity. Not to mention hard-nosed business. … for those wanting an introduction to incunables, Typographic Firsts is a visual treat.'
'This is a great book for those studying typographic history and for anyone with a love for print.'
