| 500 | # | # | $a "Nash's coloured lithographs, printed from Plasticowell on a good quality paper, display the delicacy which can be obtained by good printing for a relatively small edition, within the limit of four colours. But each page has a different set of four colours, and naturally this together with the large format and paper of quality will give enhanced subtlety. It will also add greatly to the cost of printing, though the result, in this case for flower drawings, is worthwhile.' (Enid Marx, 'Autolithography for Book Illustration, 1930-60', Matrix, 10 (1990), p.13). |
