(Preface) 'THE PENROSE ANNUAL first appeared in 1895, and since then has established itself as the leading international review of the graphic arts. It has a world-wide circulation and coverage this volume includes contributions from Germany, Holland, India, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, and the U.S.A. Volume 57 has a new editor, Herbert Spencer, and a number of fundamental and far-reaching innovations. There is a change of format, and a new matt art paper suitable for text and half-tones and for letterpress, gravure, and offset-litho. More important, however, are the changes which stem from a reconsideration of the ANNUAL's function...'
