Vom Drucken und von Druckfarben : trade catalogue & book issued by Gebr. Hartmann, Druckfarbenfabriken, Ammendorf bei Halle, Saale, Germany : c1930 : title page
A fine trade publication issued by the German colour ink manufacturers Gebr. Hartmann of Ammendorf - Chemische Fabrik Halle-Ammendorf, Druckfarbenfabrike, who were based in Ammendorf bei Halle, Saale. The publication, that is not dated but appears to be an edition from around 1930, gives detailed information on the company's products and the various specialist inks for numerous printing processes along with many illustrations as examples. It is entitled "Vom Drucken und von Druckfarben" - "Of printing and printing inks".
Running to over 250 pages this was obviously seen both as a publicity tool as well as a technical handbook. It is, needless to say, very professionally designed and produced and although the printer is not mentioned the typographical and graphic designer responsible for the book's layout is : W Biering of Frankfurt a. Main.
