Summary "On the Processes for the Production of Ex Libris (Book-Plates)" by John Vinycomb is a detailed exploration of engraving techniques and printing methods used to create decorative book-plates, written during the late 19th century. This book serves as a scientific publication aimed at art collectors and enthusiasts, providing insight into the practical aspects of this decorative art form, covering traditional techniques as well as modern scientific advancements that have altered book-plate reproduction. In the book, Vinycomb discusses the evolution of book-plate design from historical woodcuts and copper engravings to contemporary processes such as lithography and photo-lithography. He elaborates on various methods of production, including line engraving, etching, and modern techniques like half-tone process blocks, with the aim of helping collectors discern the differences between these methods. The text is supported by numerous illustrations that demonstrate the intricacies of different engraving styles and offer collectors practical knowledge for understanding and assessing their collections of Ex Libris.
