Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Selection of Books and Broadsides Illustrating the Early The exhibition of books and broadsides, illustrating the most important stages in the early history of printing, of which a descriptive catalogue will be found in the following pages, has been specially arranged to signalize the visit of the Federation of Master Printers and Allied Trades. As many members of the Federation may be visiting the library for the first time, it may not be without interest to them to learn something of the character of our collections, as far as they relate to the history of the printing craft. One of the most noteworthy features of the library is its unrivalled collection of books printed before the year 1501, numbering upwards of 2, 500 volumes. Commencing with the specimens of block-printing, the precursors of the typeprinted books, the history of which furnishes one of the most fascinating chapters in the evolution of books, it is possible to trace the history of printing step by step in the course of its progress and development to the close of the fifteenth century. The collection of works from the presses of the sixteenth and succeeding centuries down to the present day is but little less remarkable. The Aldine Press is represented by upwards of 800 works, whilst of the presses of Bodoni, Elzevir, Plantin, Baskerville, and others too numerous to mention, the principal productions can be shown. Therefore it is not too much to say that seldom, if ever before, has there been brought together a collection of books illustrating, so completely as this does, the origin and development of the art of printing. iii.
