R. Ackermann's Lithographic Press : Albert Durers Desjors of the Prayer book, one volume dated 1817. CONDITION REPORT: Interesting additional information provided at the time of consignment : THE FIRST MAJOR BOOK PRINTED IN BRITAIN BY MEANS OF LITHOGRAPHY. As documented by Abbey and Twyman, a few earlier attempts to print books using lithography were made in the Britain, but Ackermann s book is "the first serious attempt to popularize the new method" (Abbey). Dürer s marginal drawings for the manuscript prayer book of the Emperor Maximilian, now in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, were considered a national treasure in Germany, and lithography was used to produce several facsimile editions of it. Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, printed an edition in Munich in 1808 entitled Albrecht Dürers Christlich-Mythologische Handzeichnungen, which included 43 border designs printed in several single colors matching those that Dürer had originally used. Ackermann s 1817 edition, the first important production from his lithographic press, used plates that were copied from Senefelder s 1808 edition by an unknown artist. The book s title page was printed in red and black, as was a single text page of the original manuscript. According to Michael Twyman, "These two pages may well be the earliest examples of colour lithography from separate stones to have been produced in Britain"
