New York: Watson-Guptill Publications, 1970. Tall 4to. 228 pp. Cloth with gilt decoration on front board and titling on spine. Fine in fine dust jacket. Lewis describes the conditions of Western Europe that led to the development of a universal script and the invention of the printing press and movable typesetting. He traces the work of various printers and the development of the craft as a medium of communication from the time of Gutenberg's experiments with the adjustable type-mould and the modified wine press of the Rhine vineyards to modern computerized typesetting and the web-fed multi-colour offset press. He looks at propaganda in all its various forms, also religion, politics and art and their affected print, printing technology and the interactions of human society. Seller Inventory # 009302
