Advertising broadside printed in red, blue, and black.
Entire text transcribed.
Broadside advertising Charles Knight's "National cyclopaedia of useful knowledge," published 1847-1851.
Comparison to similar contemporary printed materials suggests that this is a color relief etching printed from metal using a patented process originally developed by C. Knight ca. 1838.
Illustrated with figures of the nine muses printed in blue and black and superimposed over the nine letters of the final word "knowledge."
