History of industrial gravure printing up to 1920
Rare Books
"Though there are many histories of printing, in all languages, they deal principally with the printed product. The history of the development of modern printing techniques tends to have been neglected by the historians of technology. Very rare are publications on historical investigations into the technical development of printing processes, printing presses or printing surfaces. In this revised and expanded English version of his book, originally published in German, the author, who is Technical Development Manager to the London Daily Telegraph, provides a fascinating account of the early development of one of the three major printing processes, gravure or intaglio -- industrial gravure, that is to say, as distinct from artists' printmaking"--From dust jacket.
