DIRECTORY OF THE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTERS OF SCOTLAND, 1820-70

Schenck worked for over half a century in the typesetting and photolithographic equipment industry, and his great grandfather started a printing business in Edinburgh in 1842 that lasted nearly 140 years. Here he traces the first 50 years of the new lithographic printing process in the country, identifying over 700 practitioners in alphabetical order and providing as much as in known about dates, addresses, works and periods of activity. This work is also a valuable guide towards Scotland's contribution to this artistic period. First edition 1999, 124 pages.
