Book Description
This edition brings new scholarship and insight to a highly sought-after and long-out-of-print book. Originally published in 1683, Moxon's Mechanick Exercises was the first book ever written on printing and printing types. This important book has been reprinted several times, remaining one of the most influential books in the field. Now, in this fine edition the text has been reset, extensively annotated, updated and expanded for today's scholars and artists in the fields of printing, lettering and graphic arts.

Book Description
Decorative plasterwork was created by skilled craftsmen, and for over four hundred years it has been an essential part of the interior decoration of the British country house. In this detailed and comprehensive study, Geoffrey Beard has created a book that will delight the eye and inform the interested reader. For those who have sometimes been puzzled by the complexities of plaster decoration it will be a most useful work of reference on a fascinating art form, about which no book has been published for nearly fifty years. After discussing the part that patrons played in commissioning and financing these beautiful decorations, a useful chapter is devoted to materials and methods of work and here the author describes the ingredients of good plaster; he has studied the work of present-day English plasterers and Swiss stucco-restorers in order to establish precisely how the materials of plaster and stucco were composed and used.
