Lasting impressions: Lithography as art

From Library Journal
This collection of carefully researched essays offers new information on such varied topics as British lithographic printer Charles Hullmandel (b. 1789) and the nearly contemporary French color lithographer Auguste Clot; the growth of lithography in the United States after World War II; and lithography in France and Germany at the turn of the century. Scholarly in approach, the work assumes familiarity with lithographic techniques and supplements such basic histories as Lithography: 200 Years of Art, History, & Technique ( LJ 12/15/83). Many high-quality reproductions, translated letters, and a list of works associated with Clot make it especially valuable. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries. Lynne N. Reno, formerly with Kent State Univ.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
