Le processionnal romain, l'usage du Diocèse de Québec

Le processionnal romain, l'usage du Diocèse de Québec

This religious work was published in Québec City by Samuel Neilson (1800-1837) and William Cohen. Samuel Neilson inherited his printing studio from his father, printer John Neilson (1776-1848), who was the printer for the Gazette de Québec, and the most important source of printing, binding, bookselling and office supplies in Lower Canada. William Cohen was an employee of John Neilson’s printing house and would collaborate with Samuel Neilson until 1833. This work is displayed to show the techniques involved in printing music. In the earliest days of printing, when music had to appear within text, the musical passage was engraved by hand onto a metal plate and printed separately from the text. As musical works gained popularity, especially those devoted to sacred music, musical notes were cast into type.
