Title: One Hundred Years of Brewing: A Complete History of Progress Made in Art, Science & Industry of Brewing in the World, Particularly During the Nineteenth Century
Description: New York: Arno Press, 1974. Facsimile Reprint. Hardcover. "In 1901 the publishers of The Western Brewer determined to publish and present to its readers a universal history of brewing, dwelling particularly upon the events and progress of the nineteenth century, and treating the subject even more in detail as it presents itself within the latter quarter thereof. However, the work as completed does not, by any means, neglect the preceding centuries, and ancient and medieval times. It is both interesting and instructive to trace any great industry back to primitive conditions, to follow the efforts of pioneers in all sections of the world, and to carry along the subject through the stumblings and mistakes of earnest experimenters, until it emerges into a comparative state of perfection. This task, it is believed, has also been accomplished." - Publisher's Preface. Presents historical sketches and views of ancient and modern breweries, and lives and portraits of brewers of the past and present. Facsimile reprint of the 1903 first edition published by H.S. Rich & Co. xvi, 718 pages. Generously illustrated in black and white. Unmarked with moderate wear to original tan cloth. Binding intact. No dust jacket. A quality copy of this very informative and substantive work. 12" x 9". 5.5lb. ; 4to. Good with no dust jacket .
