The last book written by Courtney Lewis. Obviously talks about Baxter but starts earlier in the century with Savage and others. Goes on to talk about Baxter’ apprentices and licensees but also other colour printers, Knight, Vizetelly, Leighton, Evans, Fawcett, Chromolithography, Hullmandel, Engelmann, Shotter, Vincent Brooks ++ and includes a biography and listing of prints by Le Blond and also Bradshaw and Blacklock. A must for anyone with a wider interest in colour printing in the 19th century.
