Summary "Old English Colour-Prints" by Malcolm C. Salaman is a historical collection focusing on the art of colour printing in England, written in the early 20th century. The work presents a detailed examination of 18th and early 19th-century English colour prints, highlighting their artistic significance and the creative processes behind them. With insights drawn from the author's experiences and critical observations, the text appeals to art historians, collectors, and enthusiasts interested in this distinctive period of printmaking. The opening of the book sets the stage for its exploration of the evolution of colour printing in England, specifically pointing to the transition from monochrome to vibrant prints. Salaman introduces key figures and techniques involved in this art form, emphasizing the shift in public taste towards colour and decoration that characterized the period. He reflects on noted engravers, such as Bartolozzi and Ryland, illustrating how their innovative methods and artistic collaborations curtailed the popularity of colour prints, while simultaneously noting the challenges they faced in achieving artistic excellence amidst rising consumer demand. The introductory remarks also hint at the broader cultural context of the time, suggesting the interplay between art, society, and evolving aesthetics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
