The Art Of The Book

The Art Of The Book is written by Bernard Newdigate. His chapters summarising the principles of the art and his comments on the illustrations are alike constructive and calculated to be of service both to specialist and layman. A special feature is the series of seven insets reproducing pages from outstanding books of the period under review. Illustrations of the wood-engravings by Mary Groome, British artist, notable for her work as a printmaker and for the books she illustrated in the 1930s for the Golden Cockerel Press; Eric Gill, an English sculptor, typeface designer, and printmaker, who was associated with the Arts and Crafts movement; R A Maynard, British artist. Good condition. Frayed dust jacket protected with the clear film. Pages are very slightly discoloured but otherwise, the book is in good condition. Published by The Studio Limited, London and New York (1938). 103 pages.
