schema:text An important work given a long notice by Twyman: “An indication of future developments in the making of lithographic facsimiles of documents is a Dutch book on paleography: [Hendrik Rarekes], Algemeene ophelderende verklaring van het oud letterschrift, in steenplaadtdruck, 1818. This octavo book presents as its raison d’etre forty-eight lithographic facsimiles of handwriting from mediaeval times to the seventeenth century, which are transcribed and commented on in letterpress notes. The facsimiles are grouped on seventeen folding plates, which are gathered together at the rear of the volume after the letterpress text. They give the impression of being faithful facsimiles, and a passage in the introduction to the book stresses their accuracy, even to the point of reproducing ink blots, and reveals that they were made by means of translucent transfer paper. They were capably printed, but unfortunately there is no way of identifying the printer. The book certainly justified Ackermann’s views about the suitability of lithography for making facsimiles of documents; moreover, it demonstrated the capabilities of the emergent process for such work and established a pattern for paleographical books later in the century. Its use of the old Dutch word for lithography, steenplaatdruck, serves to draw attention to the forward-looking nature of the publication.” - Early lithographed books, p. 211. Bonacini 964.
