From the dust jacket: "This is a reprint of the much sought-after and yet to be superseded account of colour printing from the 15th through the early 20th century… Burch's book is the only definitive history of colour printing techniques and contains detailed descriptions of chromo-lithography, photo-mechanical processes, colour etching, xylography, intaglio processes, chiaroscuro, Le Blon, Baxter, the Chiswick Press, and many dozens of other topics… The last chapter 'Modern Colour Processes' written by William Gamble has been retained… For obvious reasons, it has not been possible to include the original color illustrations printed by the various different processes and which were specially printed for the 1910 edition, but the half tones have been retained…". 1983 reprint of the 1910 original.
