A History of Screen Printing

This is a wonderful but extremely historical book on the early days of screen printing, I have had 50 years involvement full time in screen printing having started my own business at age 18 and am still at it more or less full time after 50 years. Whilst my sons now look after the day to day running of the business and we do some digital work, I would be lost without daily immersion in the old trade. My real concern is that this book covers the very early days of the trade. While very interesting we need a follow up volume to comprehensively cover the industry. This book ends about where I started in screen printing trade, this industry has had massive and exponential growth in the 1960' 70's 80's, across a very wide range of applications . Definately we need a second volume to complement and complete the story. This is still an excellent book buy it and wait for the second volume. that is my hope !

For years, I've read a lot of rumors and speculation about early screen printing, but nothing that was a well documented history. This history steps screen printing through WWI up to modern day. I purchased this for the details about WWII screen printing, which clarified and refuted a lot of "popular" opinions on how things were produced in the period, including the use of stenciling verses screen printing.

The complete history of the screen process documented with great photos and ads. Well worth the price.

The title says it all. A kind of Bible of screen printing. Great reference item.

Brilliant book...
