Griggs invented colour-photolithography and was chromolithographer to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. Although he does not mention this particular work, Martin Hardie in English Coloured Books (pp. 255-56) notes that William Griggs was for some time in charge of all the photo-lithographic work done for the Indian Government at Whitehall and that he was responsible for the reproduction of Indian textiles and decorative arts in chromolithographs ìof extraordinary beauty and fidelityî in The Textile Fabrics of India (1874-80) and Journal of Indian Art (1886- ). He also did striking work reproducing illuminated manuscripts and bookbinding. ìBut for the brilliant and painstaking work of Mr. Griggs, chromo-lithography as a means of illustrating books would be almost a lost art, like that of coloured aquatint.î (Idem). folio. [ff. 13]. 100 lithographed plates (12 folding; incl. 47 chromolithographs, 9 of which are folding). original gilt-stamped cloth (extremities frayed, a few short marginal tears, bookplate removed from front paste-down, lacking front blank)

Casa del HerreroHouse of the Blacksmithstands today as one of the most fully developed and intact examples of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. It was designed and built between 1922 and 1925 as a second house for George Fox Steedman, a St. Louis industrialist. Thought principally to be the work of George Washington Smith, the architect, Steedman himself generated many ideas during the initial design phase that were both a blessing and curse to Smith.
