Dr Scardamaglia’s recent prize-winning book ‘Printed on Stone’ highlights the wonderful work of Charles Troedel (1835–1906), a master printer and lithographer. It traces the production and evolution of nineteenth century Australian advertising – in the home, at the bar, in health, hygiene and housework, with style and fashion and in leisurely pursuits.
‘Printed on Stone’ recently won the coveted Victorian Premier’s History Award for 2020, presented by Public Record Office Victoria and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria’s Victorian Community History Awards.
