Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Printing Printing is the art of taking impressions, from characters or figures, on paper, linen, silk, and other fabrics. There are several kinds of printing; from moveable letters, and from metal casts obtained from them, for books; from engravings on wood and metal, for pictures; from blocks, on which birds, flowers, and designs are cut, or from rollers on which they are impressed, for printing calico, linen, paper-hangings, c.;from letters and drawings sketched upon stone, coated with grease, called lithography; and, finally, the newly-invented art of natural printing, which consists in stamping natural objects, such as leaves, feathers, and flowers, upon sheets or rollers of metal in a softened state, and printing from these rollers on paper. But though the above is the technical definition of printing, a much wider meaning is generally given to the term.
