Gazette, July 1974, p. 16.[Earhart s] book, over which he laboured for more than four years, was intended as a practical guide to all printers who desire to obtain the most artistic results in ornamental Colour Printing by the least amount of labour and expense ...... The greater part of the colour plates (which required 625 formes and 1,625,000 impressions for their production in a small edition) are used to demonstrate tints of varying strength and their combination with other tints... all the plates, which included specimens of embossing, printing in gold, rainbow printing, map printing, impressions from emery paper and various woods, were meticulously printed. - Vivian Ridler, Artistic printing: a search for principles, Alphabet & Image, 6.
