Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - First published in 1897, this is one of many books written by the technical journalist John Southward (1840-1902), one of the most prolific writers on printing in the nineteenth century. As the title indicates, Southward is primarily concerned with the development and progress of printing.
