This book is a wealth of information for any genealogist trying to date a photo taken in Pennsylvania from the years 1839-1900. The information is concise and to the point and literally within minutes I was able to date 2 photographs based on the photographers name stamp to the year 1890. Ries and Ruby have done an excellent job researching photographers from the 18th and 19th century who worked in the state of Pennsylvania. I have previously purchased "Dating Old Photographs 1840-1929" and "Uncovering Your Ancestry through Family Photographs" and this book blows the previous two out of the water!!

Aloys Senefelder discovered the lithographic process in 1798. It was subsequently introduced to the publishing community of Scotland in 1815. The earliest lithographic printer traced in the directors of Scotland was John Robertson of Edinburgh in 1820. This new art form spread rapidly through Scotland's printing establishment and great to more than 180 lithographic printers by 1870. David Schenck's Directory Of The Lithographic Printers Of Scotland 1820-1870 is the first detailed investigation of the development of lithographic printing in Scotland. This impressive work of exhaustive research and painstaking scholarship lists over 700 practitioners within the 50 year span of 1820 to 1870. Included are all of the printer's dates, addresses, and works. This seminal reference work will be of inestimable value to students of early Scottish lithographic, artistic printmaking, and the history of printing.

This collection of training programs is very complete and thorough. It is very useful to theater people of all kinds looking into furthering their education in the discipline of theater arts.
