AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This history attempts to reconstruct printing practices and their publishing outputs in order to show that, in addition to financial considerations, the personal interests and backgrounds of printers played a part in their business. In order to achieve this, the thesis presents biographical details, documents and analyses publishing statistics from 1800-1914 - compiled using Kinetica [Libraries Australia], printing house procedure and business records - and offers an overview of the trade. Together, all these aspects present a full picture of printing practice and show how the printers interacted with their communities.
