SENEFELDER, Alois (1771-1834). Vollständiges Lehrbuch der Steindruckery: enthaltend eine richtige und deutliche Anweisung zu den verschiedenen Manipulations-Arten derselben in allen ihren Zweigen und Manieren, belegt mit den nöthigen Musterblätten, nebst einer vorangehenden ausführlichen Geschichte dieser Kunst von ihrem Enstehen bis auf gegenwärtige Zeit. Munich: Karl Thienemann; Vienna: Karl Gerold, 1818. 4 o (278 x 212 mm). Lithographed title to plate section at end, 19 lithographed plates, 1 colored in full, 1 partly colored, 1 tinted. (Some minor intermittent spotting to text.) Twentieth-century brown half morocco, marbled boards. FIRST EDITION OF SENEFELDER'S GROUND-BREAKING "COMPLETE COURSE OF LITHOGRAPHY." Senefelder, born at Prague, began experimenting with "stone printing" between 1791 and 1796. Through continued experimentation and much frustration, Senefelder perfected the art and by 1801 was seeking a patent. "In 1818 Senefelder published his manual of lithography...It contained 19 plates, executed by the new process, was dedicated to King Maximilian of Bavaria, and bore a preface by the secretary of the 'Akademie der Wissenschaften zu München.' It is stated that the expenses of publication were borne jointly by Senefelder and [Philippe] André [the eminenent Offenbach music-publisher who promoted and sponsored Senefelder's research]" (Bigmore & Wyman). The supplement of plates was perhaps printed in a smaller quantity, as many copies are found with it lacking. Most were printed on a heavy wove drawing paper, some watermarked M. Heusler or M...A. Huber. The color plate, described by Senefelder on page 219, is on a different stock. Bigmore & Wyman II, p. 339ff.; Bild vom Stein 246; Dussler 48; PMM (1963) I624.
