Summary "Printing in Relation to Graphic Art" by George French is a detailed analysis of the interconnections between printing and the graphic arts published in the early 20th century. This book serves as a scientific publication that explores how artistic principles can be applied within the realm of printing, presenting insights on various components of the craft such as typography, composition, color, and binding. Written during a time when printing was undergoing significant transformation due to technological advances, the book illustrates the necessity for a balance between mechanical processes and aesthetic considerations in print design. In this informative text, French emphasizes that while printing is predominantly a utilitarian craft, it possesses the potential to elevate itself into an art form by adhering to time-honored artistic principles. He systematically breaks down essential aspects of printing, discussing the importance of layout, type composition, color dynamics, tone, and the physical properties of paper, all while advocating for the thoughtful integration of these elements to produce aesthetically pleasing and functional printed works. French's articulations draw vividly on the historical significance of printing, its cultural implications, and its inherent capacity to educate and influence people, ultimately calling for greater recognition of the artistic dimensions within the printing profession.
