Manuel pratique de lithographie sur zinc

Image not available

Description: First published 1885. Luis Nadeau gives a good note on this subject: "Lithography from zinc plates rather than stones. The idea of substituting light weight plates for stones was known for at least half a century before high quality industrial production was achieved by Monrocq who, by the time he was successful in 1875, had spent five years improving the process. Advantages of using zinc over stone as of 1880 were as follows: 80% saving in terms of production cost, 98% less weight, 95% savings in terms of storage volume." - Encyc of printing, photographic, and photomechanical processes, II, p. 478. (Charles Wood, cat. 167, # 151).

"...Second edition, but first to contain the plates. ... With 26 plates printed in color in black, yellow, red, and blue, rendered using the Le Blond technique ... A rare work in the history of color printing. Madame Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray (1715-1794), was the most famous midwife of the 18th century. Her task (for which she was royally appointed by Louis XV) was to teach the art of childbirth to the largely illiterate female population of France. In this second edition, Le Blon's pupil Robert supplied the plates ... So far as we were able to determine, this is the only work of Robert's to appear in book form"--From bookseller's description (Wilsey Rare Books).

Fine complete copy of this rare edition. Knecht was the sole pupil of Senefelder. The present work had its origins in the 1827 manual by Bregeaut. That manual was revised and augmented by Knecht and Jules Desportes in 1850 (see Twyman, Lithography, p. 264). The present work, while still based on Bregeaut, is largely a new work, completely rewritten and incorporating the subjects listed in the title above. It is listed in Twyman's bibliography, p. 267. The plates are also new and include one chromolithograph (imprimé sur les machines a vapeur systeme Dupuy, Passage du Desir, 3, Paris). (Charles Wood, cat. 167, # 146).
