A DICTIONARY
_of_ ENGRAVING
_By_ WILLIAM HENRY BAKER
[Illustration: [Logo]]
An unique reference book for advertising men (both genders) who,
paradoxically, are often somewhat at sea in discussing the processes of
engraving; electrotyping and the related graphic arts.
Designed as a popular rather than a pedantic book—so here and there
thruout it are to be found touches of “human interest” such as
unconventional definitions of non-technical terms, rank candor and some
cynicism, which may bite or amuse. Technical terms, however, are not
monkeyed with.
Printed with some taste on laid antique paper, untrimmed, with
illustrations and diagrams, bound in decorated boards, handy volume
size.
“Exceedingly helpful.”—_Printer’s Ink_
“Even the non-professional reader will profit by having it on a
convenient shelf.”—_Cleveland Leader_
“Remarkable for brevity and directness.”—_Cleveland Press_
“We have an idea it was born of the travail of spirit endured by the
author (an advertising manager of wide experience) in dealing with the
great crowd of craftsmen who have not overtenderly guided his copy
through art department, engraver’s room, composing room, stereotyping
department and pressroom.”—_Detroit Times_
“Very practical and indeed interesting.”—_American Printer_
“Has a value which can hardly be estimated.”—_The Franklin Company,
Chicago_
“Should find a place in the library and workshop of every man whose
business comes within the scope of its treatment.”—_Louisville Evening
Post_
“A complete and thoroughly prepared work, meaty, useful and witty as
well.”—_N. Y. Daily Trade Record_
“The most interesting volume to the allied trades since Lockwoods
‘American Dictionary of Printing and Bookmaking’”—_Tony Rubovits,
Chicago_
“Compliment you upon its completeness and reliability.”—_The H. S.
Ormsbee Engraving Co., Syracuse_
“Certainly interesting to anyone interested in printing.”—_Dill &
Collins Co., Philadelphia_
