Description

Arts and Crafts Book Covers by Malcolm Haslam explores the uncharted territory of early book design. From 1860, artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, and Walter Crane supplied designs for cloth-covered boards stamped with golf leaf and color. The Arts and Crafts movement had a lasting impact on commercial book production in Europe and America. Ninety-nine of the best covers are illustrated and described in this book, along with details of over fifty Arts and Crafts designers who worked in commercial book production. Haslam also delves into the world of publishers and binders, revealing how designs filled the bookshops and bookshelves of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. The book features a wide range of designs, including those by prominent architects such as Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, as well as lesser-known artists whose work was widely used during this period.
