Begun in 1886, the American Printers’ Specimen Exchange required participating printers from the United States and abroad to submit 200 to 300 copies of examples of their best color printing, and in exchange they each received one bound copy of all the entries used. The Grolier Club has a growing number of similar examples of nineteenth-century “artistic printing” in its collection.
