In den Warenkorb[16]pp, 16mo (11.5 x 7.5 cm). Stitched unpaginated pamphlet, tastefully printed with decorative headpiece to title, and the Press's celebrated device to the colophon. A frail survival, aged, worn and spotted, with one corner of last leaf dogeared. At foot of title-page: 'Any volume will be sent on receipt of Postal Order in adva…nce.' Following the title-page are two pages with a history of 'The Chiswick Press. | Founded 1789.' Then a full-page advertisement for 'A Practical Treatise on the Art of Typography', with a full page containing 'Some Press Opinions'. Similar two-page advertisements follow for 'On the Making and Issuing of Books', 'Some Notes on Books and Printing', 'The Printers' Handbook', 'The Printers' Vocabulary' and 'Gesta Typographica'. Scarce: the only two copies on OCLC WorldCat at the Universities of Cambridge and Michigan.

Youngman and many others.Most of the original artworks presented here are etchings depicting landscapes, harbour views, a few portraits, street scenes.in the late Romantic-Victorian style. Nearly all show great mastering of the difficult art of etching and engraving. This typical , expensive, publication, catered for the intense craving of the Victorian public for these romantic landscapes and views. Very soon the advance of photography and reproduction printing techniques made it possible to supply the market with cheaper and more authentic views. but alass the noble art of etching suffered from it.
