Publisher's Note
How To Identify Prints was welcomed on first publication as a comprehensive and indispensable reference work for print and book collectors, dealers in prints and illustrated books, and indeed anyone interested in graphic art.

Included are some ninety different techniques, from manual methods to the mechanical processes that constitute the vast majority of printed images around us. Essential features of printing history and the printmaking craft receive full coverage; paper types, plate marks, and the principles of color separation are discussed; and examples are given identifying features that help to reveal the type of print, such as varieties of line and tone and details of how the ink lies. A Glossary-Index provides brief definitions of a wide range of terms and serves as a guide to the book itself.
