People come in the store sometimes and ask "what should I collect?" The short answer, of course, is collect what you like, what gives you pleasure. In today's very visual world, some people are attracted to the beautiful realm of color printing.
For the first 400 years or so, there was no color printing. When it first began, everything was hand-colored, a painstaking process. In the 1830s, we begin to see stone lithographs, and later, printing from metal plate, which greatly increased the volume a printer could produce.
There are many examples of color printing, and Mike discusses some of them in this episode of Rare Book Moment. We hope you're enjoying this revisit to this video series we began years ago. This particular one is from 2012. We'd love to hear from you so make a comment below or over on our Facebook page, if you'd prefer. See you soon.
