ref. 35708COLOR PRINTING PICTURES AND SONGS FOR THE LITTLE ONES AT HOME. London: Thomas Nelson and Sons 1865. 8vo. Publisher's cloth. 16 leaves printed on one side only with 15 color plates. First edition. This is a very nice example of color printing by Thomas Nelson who used a transfer lithography method very similar to Baxter's color printing technique. In it Nelson transferred the images from steel engravings as opposed to Baxter taking his images from wood blocks. Then Nelson used oil based colors to print the image as did Baxter producing very bright and vivid colors. The color images in this book are quite small 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 inches and are pasted on the pages all printed in brown ink with gold borders and vignettes that surround the color plates. Some sporadic foxing and slight cover discoloration but a good example of a seldom seen Victorian method of color printing. unknown books

The new preface describes the reasons for printing this text. It was printed at the expense of the United Friends. Evans notes that as a piece of typography paper and binding it is a very creditable piece of bookmaking. The copy offered here is in its original Billmeyer binding. The Schwenkfelders comprised a small Anabaptist sect founded in Silesia in the 16th century. Like the Quakers they disavowed communion and baptism. In 1734 the entire sect emigrated to Montgomery County in Pennsylvania. Though small in number the sect had a reputation for a devotion to reading and education and had amassed an outstanding library by the latter part of the 18th century. Arndt #803; Evans #23975.
