Printing in Relation to Graphic Art
by George French
About the author
George French was an American author whose published work focused on advertising, printing, and graphic design. Surviving catalog and digitized book records identify him as living from 1853 to 1935 and show that he wrote books including Printing in Relation to Graphic Art, The Art and Science of Advertising, How to Advertise, and Advertising, the Social and Economic Problem.
His books suggest a writer deeply interested in the practical side of communication: how printed pages are arranged, how advertisements catch the eye, and how visual presentation affects meaning. That makes his work especially interesting today, because it bridges older print culture and ideas that still matter in modern marketing and design.
Reliable biographical details beyond his dates and published works were limited in the sources available here, so this overview stays close to what can be confirmed. Even so, his bibliography shows a consistent career built around explaining the craft of persuasive print.
