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).
