Preface.
Believing that a work of this character has long been needed, the author offers this book as a practical guide to all printers who desire to obtain the most artistic results in ornamental Color Printing, by the least amount of labor and expense. It has been the aim of the author to produce a work showing, in a measure, what can be accomplished with common colors, by mixture, by printing over one another, by printing over bronzes, and by harmonious combinations.
It is sincerely hoped that this book will answer the purpose for which it is intended, and that printers everywhere will receive it in a kindly spirit similar to that which prompted its production.
