His career as a sculptor has been paralleled by a major graphic oeuvre. These works have involved a variety of printing processes, from mimeograph to lithography, etching, woodcut and screenprinting. As a printing surface Oldenburg has used papers, Plexiglas, cardboard, silk and canvas. All the prints, posters and printed ephemera are fully documented. Many are accompanied by reproductions of related drawings. The volume includes an essay, a comprehensive study of Oldenburg's printed oeuvre in relation to his large-scale projects and especially his drawings."---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo.

From the blurb: "In this major study, Charles Lane charts three centuries of British racing history and skilfully links the Royal patrons, the noble and often eccentric owners and the classic races they sought to win with the story of the artists and engravers whose prints recorded the racing scenes so much valued today by collectors in many countries. Charles Lane goes on to discuss the more common engraving methods employed on racing prints - line, mezzotint, etching alone or with stipple or aquatint, lithography and soft ground etching. The golden period of printmaking was, he believes, between 1780 and 1850. Colonel Lane gives short biographies of the artists and provides the most complete listing of their prints ever assembled. Before the introduction of photography it is the racing print upon which the racing historian relies. Here then, is an invaluable source of information on racing history and racing art which will appeal to collectors, dealers in racing prints, professionals in the racing industry and racing enthusiasts everywhere. Carefully researched and authoritative, it is full of insights into the lives and work of the great racing artists and the lesser known printmakers who have helped create the British racing heritage.
