The history of printing in America : with a biography of printers, and an account of newspapers : to which is prefixed a concise view of the discovery and progress of the art in other parts of the world : in two volumes
A two-volume history of printing and newspapers in America, written and published by printer Isaiah Thomas at Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1810, for the book trade and antiquarians. The plates reproduce marbled endpapers in black, cream and green stone patterns alongside close facsimiles of early blackletter type, useful as tileable textures, background fills, and letterform reference.
