(Preface) 'With the publication of this volume, the world's leading annual of the graphic arts celebrates its sixtieth anniversary. W. B. Hislop, a distinguished and regular contributor since 1916, instances the technological changes that Penrose has witnessed and mirrored since it first appeared: some, inventions of crucial importance, some, processes 'which cross the sky like rockets and are never heard of again. through the Annual, many people who might otherwise have missed these rockets were able to observe them...'
Illustrated throughout with various printed tip-in samples.
