Vom Drucken und von Druckfarben : trade catalogue & book issued by Gebr. Hartmann, Druckfarbenfabriken, Ammendorf bei Halle, Saale, Deutschland : c1930 : forword
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.
The book contains the following injunction as foreword:
"Froher mut, ernstes streben, sollen deinem leben die richtung geben. Glück Zu!"
loosely translated as
"Joyful courage, serious striving, should give your life the direction. Luck too!"
