The Compilers of this Bibliography of Printing, the first of its kind published in England, had been for some years engaged independently in the collection of materials for such a work as the present, when, by the good offices of Mr. BERNARD QUARITCH, of Piccadilly, they became acquainted and for the first time aware of their several labours and common intention, and thereupon agreed to combine their resources and pursue the task conjointly.
Preface to vol. A-L (1880). A
Observations sur l'Introduction au Catalogue d'Estampes de M. D. G. de A. 1861. 8vo.
The name of the author of this book, published under the above initials, is stated by the authorities of the British Museum to be Rocheaux, a printseller of Paris. In the full exposition of the scope and plan of the "Bibliography of Printing" which the compilers prefixed to the first volume, they ventured to say that had they "realised at the onset half that their task might demand of them, they would never have had the courage to attempt it."
Preface to vol. M-S (1884). MAASLIEB (W.). 'Peter Schöffer und die Erfindung der Buchdruckerkunst. Ein Kulturbild. Neu-Ruppin: 1868. 8vo. pp. 188, and four coloured plates. In the Preface to the Second Volume of this "Bibliography of Printing," reference was made to the causes which rendered necessary the issue of a Third volume.
Preface to vol. T-Z (1886). TABELLEN über Kupferstecher-Arbeit. 2te Ausl. Leipzig: 1807. The present two-volume edition of A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRINTING reproduces complete, in enlarged size, the original three-volume edition published in London, 1880-1886. It is printed by the photo-offset process by the Duenewald Printing Corporation of New York, in a limited edition.
