The rapid growth and development of printing from the end of the eighteenth century resulted from the same factors that caused changes in in British society at large - expansion of trade, improved communications, and pressure for the propagation of ideas. Both from the design and technical standpoints, however, the changes are reflected most in periodical and jobbing work and in ephemeral printing generally; and it is these areas, rather than tradition book production, that Michael Twyman discusses and illustrates as he traces the development of printing in England over the last two hundred years. Book in very good condition. Dust jacket affected by significant shelf wear including curling/tears at edges, scuffs and scratch marks.
