Hi Typophiles,
I'm looking for old, classic books on printing or on-line resources in that manner. In particular I'm interested in graphic content: sketches, illustrations, photographs. The earlier the better. I plan to visit St Bride Library in the near future, but anything else you'd like to add will be much appreciated.

Poke around in Google book search and Microsoft book search, there are some great older books on the topic in those collections.
