About this ebook
The conventional notion that this contains Hullmandel's first lithographs printed in 3 or 4 colours, with additional hand colouring, is inaccurate. Faced with the problem of reproducing the impressionistic colour sketches provided by Howard, Hullmandel employed hand colourists. Examination of copies of the book reveals that in each plate there is only one printedcolour, nearly always blue or brown. All the rest are added by hand. It apparently seemed wiser to involve the author in this minor deception than to admit that the lithographiccolour printing had not been up to the mark. [see Printing Historical Society, No 17.].
