American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel (Classic Reprint) by Mantle Fielding Pdf

Excerpt from American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel General interest in the history, development, and study of American engraving seems to increase as we recede from the period when this art was practised, and approach the present age of reproduction by mechanical and photographic processes. Even the growing scarcity of the prints and their greatly increased cost do not seem to have deterred the collectors, but have rather added to their interest. In early American portraits, the hardness and crudity of our pioneer engravers are most apparent, and there is an absence of the grace and elegance about their work which characterized the Eighteenth Century engravers of Europe. To the collector, however, these possess a distinct historical value which is often lacking in the more finished and artistic productions, their very crudity of design and execution seeming to create a certain fascination which even their grotesqueness fails to dispel. Until the publication of the work on "American Engravers" by the late David McN. Stauffer, published by the Grolier Club of New York, in 1907, nothing in the nature of a comprehensive study of the work of American engravers, or a list of their prints, existed; the earlier book on the subject by William S. Baker, being only a collection of notes for future reference, and not a complete review of the subject. Mr. Stauffer's book was, therefore, virtually, a pioneer work in which he had endeavored to cover the field as completely as possible, and no praise is too great for the enthusiastic and painstaking manner in which he entered upon his task.

American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by David McNeely Stauffer Pdf

Excerpt from American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel, Vol. 2 The following lists of the work of the earlier American engravers upon copper and steel include only the plates of the men who were actually engraving in this country before 1825; though all of the work found of any man coming within this classification is covered in the lists. This date of 1825 was somewhat arbitrarily selected as about marking the beginning of what may be termed the commercial period of engraving in the United States; or, a time when engraving companies and the employers of engravers began to sign the plates issued, and the identity of the actual engraver was lost for all purposes of record. The output of some of these engraving companies became exceedingly varied in character and great in volume about the middle of the last century; and the simple labor involved in classifying and describing their plates, and the space occupied in printing these descriptions, would be out of proportion to the value of the record thus secured, and to the original purpose of the writer in making the compilation here presented. In this connection it is only necessary to say that in a comparatively few years a single New York engraving company produced over 25,000 separate plates.

Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England by Basil Hunnisett Pdf

First published in 1980, Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England is a detailed and comprehensive survey of the steel engravings that were so popular in the nineteenth century. With an extensive range of illustrations, the book refutes the assumption that steel engravings are of little artistic value or importance, a common attitude rooted largely in the connection between steel engravings and mass-produced books. Beginning with an exploration of the identification problems and early history of steel engravings, it moves through the production and printing of the plates and on to a study of several engravers and artists, as well as of the books themselves. Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England will appeal to anyone interested in the history of printing and illustration.

A History of the Book in America by Scott E. Casper,Jeffrey D. Groves,Stephen W. Nissenbaum,Michael P. Winship,David D. Hall Pdf

Volume 3 of A History of the Book in America narrates the emergence of a national book trade in the nineteenth century, as changes in manufacturing, distribution, and publishing conditioned, and were conditioned by, the evolving practices of authors and readers. Chapters trace the ascent of the "industrial book--a manufactured product arising from the gradual adoption of new printing, binding, and illustration technologies and encompassing the profusion of nineteenth-century printed materials--which relied on nationwide networks of financing, transportation, and communication. In tandem with increasing educational opportunities and rising literacy rates, the industrial book encouraged new sites of reading; gave voice to diverse communities of interest through periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets, and other printed forms; and played a vital role in the development of American culture.
