About This Book
The manual offers comprehensive, practical guidance on 19th-century printing and typography, combining a concise history of the craft with step-by-step instruction for apprentices and shop managers. It describes tools, typefaces and point systems, composition and imposition schemes, press operation and troubleshooting, proofreading and correcting methods, and duties of foremen and pressmen. Sections treat type-founding, stereotyping, electrotyping and lithography, warehouse management and job-office practices, and provide recipes for inks, rollers, and other materials. Extensive tables, case plans, orthographical notes, copyright formalities, and ready-to-use imposition schemes support the practical, workshop-focused advice.
