ABOUT
Since Alois Senefelder, at the end of the 18th century, discovered the effect of nitric acid and gum arabic on a polished slab of limestone, the art and craft of lithography has ramified and developed beyond recognition.
In this volume with 78 illustrations, Richard Vicary steers the student through the array of modern techniques.
He explains the chemistry of lithography, describes the characteristics, advantages and defects of stones and metal plates, and discusses materials, presses, papers and inks. He explains the technique of rolling up and proofing in colour, with its problem of achieving accurate register. The illustrations show not only details of apparatus and working methods but also example lithographs by established artists.
Monochrome and colour images throughout.

Immaculate with only light wear on dust jacket. Images depict all need to know detail.
