The Printed Picture may become the standard reference for anyone interested in the history of image creation either as a single copy or in millions. Richard Benson (I'm not related) is to be congratulated in writing about a quite technical subject in a very lucid and accessible way.The Product Description above will give you an idea about the book's scope. One of the fascinating insights that will intrigue you is that colour printing is easier to do than printing in black. This interested me because I buy a lot of black and white photo art books and the problem is that one pass of black printing really can't realistically reproduce all the tonal values of a photo. The solution is to use black and one other ink, usually a grey to capture the lighter areas in a photo. The several hundred illustrations throughout the book show the continuing attempts, over the decades, to reproduce images as faithfully as possible and in multiple copies.The book is bang up to date with comprehensive sections on color copiers, inkjet printing and scanner technology. The section on Indigo printing might be the way of the future because the technology allows a limited number of copies to be printed and in good quality, too.I think it is worth mentioning the quality of the writing. It is based on Benson's lectures, over the years, at Yale University and comes across in an easy conversational style that is a joy to read. As well as the writing he also designed the book. It is, as you would expect, beautifully printed on matt art stock with a 200+ screen.If you work in graphic arts or are just image curious The Printed Picture will explain the background to something that is a part of everyday life.

Retrace l'histoire de l'image imprimée, en y intégrant la photographie - y compris numérique - sans faire de celle-ci une technique autonome. Illustrations moyennes, il manque à mon goût des considérations plus techniques et des schémas explicatifs.

Sum If you have any interest in art prints this is a must read. Certain to be a reference book for decades to come.Pros * Very high quality illustrations * The text is very enjoyable to read. He writes in simple English rather than Art-Speak * Comprehensive look at all significant printing technologies * A very useful glossary of printing termsCons * I wish he did more to compare-and-contrast C-prints with inkjet prints. These are the most common form of new photographic prints one is likely to find in galleries and museums.One of my favorite quotes from the book: "The interesting thing that we see here is the artist's way of hanging on to old technologies after their glory days are over. Wood-block printing, engraving, etching, lithography, and even the more basic picture-making practices of drawing and painting - all of these technologies were tremendously influential is their day, but each has moved away from the broad cultural forefront and shifted over into the narrower realm of art. This is happening now with photography: the digital methods convey a great deal of photographic description, but they don't quite look like chemical photography, and will look less and less like the chemical forms as digital photography evolves. There will always be artists using the earlier technology in vital and effective ways, to make pictures that simply can't be produced with the new methods. Art is like some sort of backward country where old cars are sent to be kept running indefinitely, while modern times and new models race on ahead elsewhere."A pet peeve of mine for years has been the pretentious word "Giclée". He skewers it: "...at one point some ambitious marketer decided to call them "giclée" prints. This deeply stupid name has led many a purchaser to think they have some rarefied creature hanging on the wall when all it is is an inkjet print."The majority of art prints you see on peoples walls are poster prints made using a printing technique called offset printing. This is a cheap way to mass-produce prints that look good. They don't have the vivid colors seen in fine-art prints, and they fade quickly since they are not archival, but they are inexpensive. Offeset printing is only one of the scores of printmaking techniques described in this book. Here is a partial list: * Woodcut * Wood Engraving * Copper Engraving * Etching * Steel Engraving * Aquatint * Mezzotint * Monotypes * Stone Lithography * Chromolithography * Japanese Woodblock Printing * Silkscreen * the Typewritter * Weaving * Rubbings * Silhouettes * Daguerreotype * Wet-plate photography * Albumin Prints * Tintypes * Gum Bichromate * Blueprints * Platinum * Palladium * Gelatin Silver Print * Polaroid * Chromogenic or C printing * Photogravure * Retrogravure * Collotype * Duotone and Tritone * Web Offset * Photo Offset Lithography * Laser Prints * Iris Prints * Dye-based Inkjet prints * Pigment-based Inkjet printsThe publisher is MoMA and it shows. Everything from the cover to the paper and binding is first class. Richard Benson is professor (and former chairman) at the Yale School of Art.

For more years than I want to admit to, photography has been part of my life. However, over the past several years the photomechanical processes and the mechanics of photographic reproduction have been of keen interest, by how it is used creatively and as a method for multiplication. I use the word “multiplication” because the reproduction of art works or photographs was to some extents one of the drivers in the invention of photography.This work by Richard Benson takes the reader through the major processes, starting at cave paintings, contending that printing “has existed as long as people have been making pictures.”Benson attacks the subject process by process; relief printing, intaglio and planographic printing, non-photographic color printing, early photography in silver, the non-silver processes, and so on. Of most interest to me, was the chapter on photography in ink; chromolithography, collotype, pochoir, photo offset lithography, etc. The final chapters, fittingly, covers the digital processes and the future. In the last chapter, “Where do we go from here?” Benson states, “Wherever this show is going, the human being no longer travels there alone.”I recommend this book to anyone wanting an overview of the photographic and photomechanical processes available past and present. It is well written, and contains a good glossary of terms, but unfortunately no bibliography or notes.

I worked for newspapers for about 16 years and never had any interest in what went on in the print shop. The mechanics of printing was not the fascination for me that it was for others in the profession. But this book was engrossing from beginning to end. I admit the subject matter can be overwhelming but Richard Benson's enthusiasm for the processes is evident. He doesn't weigh you down with too much technical jargon, his descriptions are brief but insightful. While my area of interest in printmaking these days is limited to homemade photography, Benson makes the multitude of other printmaking methods understandable and interesting.

For years I struggled to understand the different techniques used to created printed images. This is the single best introduction to the printed image available -- by far. On one page the author explains a printing technique and then on the facing page the technique is illustrated with a sample. This is a completely invaluable reference work and also a surprisingly fun read. Highly recommended.

If you have any interest in the history of the technology of image making, then this is a good book to have. It is not the type of book that you sit and read from cover to cover, although I do find that I can't just look one thing up, I want to keep browsing. A good part of the book is devoted to photographic images, (my main interest) but this it is by no means exclusive to photography, and knowing something of the related techniques will do no harm.
