"Since 1895 The Penrose Annual has been acknowledged as the leading international commentator on developments in printing technology and changes in taste and fashion in the graphic arts. [...] James Moran has distilled a selection of 34 crucial contributions that provide a coherent narrative of the printing history of nearly eighty momentous years. Reproduced facsimile in monochrome (plus 32 subjects in colour), they retain the period flavour which is such an important constituent of Penrose."--Book Jacket
