Description:"This book traces the history of printmaking from the demise of hand-done reproductive engraving at the end of the nineteenth century to the explosion in size, colour and technical invention characterizing the boom in artists' prints following World War II. The author discusses the concept of the 'original print'...and pays particular attention to the way prints have evolved in the 1960's,...to a state in which photographic, non gestural or processed images are creatively combined in prints specified by the artists, but often entirely realized by master printers, and susceptible to mass production."-- form preface.
