Written by Jackson to promote his wallpapers, it repeats some of his assertions in the _Enquiry_ but gives little detail concerning his career. It is important as an illustrated book and as an early document in the history of wallpaper. The prints have suffered from the use of an inferior oil vehicle.

KAINEN, JACOB. “John Baptist Jackson and his Chiaroscuros.” _Printing and Graphic Arts_, vol. 4, no. 4, 1956, pp. 85-92.

LE BLANC, C. _Manuel de l’amateur d’estampes._ Paris, 1854-1888, vol. 2, p. 416.

Written in an oppressively popular style with emphasis on Baxter and Le Blond. Jackson is mentioned often but sketchily as the distant ancestor of “picture printing.”

LINTON, W. _The Masters of Wood Engraving._ London, 1889, p. 214.

Discusses the subject from the standpoint of a late-19th-century technician. Nevertheless is open-minded, if slightly superior, about the chiaroscuro woodcut.

LONGHI, G. _Catalogo dei più celebri intagliatori in legno ed in rame._ Milan, 1821, p. 51.

SAVAGE, W. _Practical Hints on Decorative Printing._ London, 1822, pp. 15-16.

Savage was the first writer to acknowledge Jackson’s contributions to color printing, although he was critical of his inks. The book attempts to show, through examples, that color printing from woodblocks is practical for a variety of purposes.
