To artists, lithographers, printers and students of art in all classes this graphic explanation of technical process cannot fail to be of the utmost interest and value. but in addition to these, those of all callings must find delight in 'the introductory chapters on "The Poster" and on Art in relation to the Government and the people (though that is not its title), with which this little volume (the latest in the Wonder of Work Series), opens. In these few pages with bold strokes and poster-like directness Mr. Pennell tells some big truths about the state of art before the war, the awakening, the need of better technical training, the relation of the Government to art and artists, which it would be well if all might hear and heed. --The American Magazine of Art, Volume 1 Less
