Detailed and extensively illustrated catalogue from a printing supply company; a valuable resource for studying or teaching about late nineteenth-century printing technologies. Robert Harrild, originally a printer, developed composition ink rollers in the 1810s, which were instrumental in the shift to cylindrical presses. He soon shifted from printing to manufacturing rollers and other printing supplies. By the 1890s, Harrild & Sons was a prosperous printing supply company; they also sold printing presses manufactured by Bremner of Otley in Yorkshire. This catalogue advertises lithographic and relief printing presses; folding machines; guillotines; ink rollers; printing types and rules; composing room furniture, including typecases, composing frames, imposing stones, and form racks; chases and furniture; stitching machines and binding equipment; stereotype manufacturing equipment; and a wide variety of other miscellaneous supplies, most illustrated in clear detail.
