Paperback. Condition: New. A Treatise on Wood Engraving, Historical and Practical (1839), combines the practical knowledge of an engraver with the critical inquiry of an historian. Compiled and edited by William Andrew Chatto, an established author with an interest in woodcuts, the book was originally conceived by the wood-engraver John Jackson, who provided the book's more than three hundred engravings. Roughly three quarters of the Treatise is concerned with the historical evolution of engraving, from the Egyptian hieroglyph stamps held at the British Museum through the masterful works of Albrecht Dürer to the decline and reinvigoration of the art in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Practical analysis permeates the text as a whole, with the final section explaining more fully how a block is chosen, cut, and even repaired. The book is therefore of interest to art historians, historians of the book, and even artist practitioners interested in nineteenth-century methods.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition - Chatto and Windus (1861), Rebacked, preserving the original cloth boards. The binding is now tight and square with no cracks nor other issues are present. Light foxing throughout. xvi, 664 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm. . . . . . . This second edition is a substantial survey of the history and technique of wood engraving, authored by William Andrew Chatto with illustrations by John Jackson and an additional chapter contributed by Henry G. Bohn for the second edition. The volume traces the development of wood engraving from its earliest origins through various historical periods. Chatto?s narrative covers the antiquity and growth of the art, exploring its maturation and later decline, while also examining its technical aspects and practical methods. Jackson, the principal illustrator, was responsible for the engraving of most of the illustrations, having begun the work at his own risk and assembled a vast array of images to complement the text. The book, in its 2nd edition, clarified the respective contributions of each party after earlier ambiguity about proper attribution, with Bohn serving both as publisher and as a new contributor. The final structure presents a unified resource, where Chatto?s researched historical text is intricately supported by Jackson?s engravings and Bohn?s editorial and supplemental additions, resulting in a thorough and authoritative work on wood engraving in the nineteenth century. . . . . . . The attached bookplate on the inside front cover represents the personal ex-libris of Archibald Scott Napier, whose family was influential in Scotland and Britain, and whose arms followed the historic Napier lineage traditions.…
