He camefrom that city, and it was there where he had learnedwhat he had acquired of the art of transfer printing.We may take it, therefore, that the black and theblue printing went on co-terminously (though notco-extensively) from about 1756 to 1774, whenHancock left the factory and line engraving seems tohave declined. Bat printing then came into favour,and continued, more or less, until the FHght, Barr andBarr
