Hardcover. Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [6], 14, [4] pages. Illustration. This is in the original two-tone and patterned boards. With printed-label to front panel. Cover shows wear and edges rubbed through cloth in some places. Also laid in is a one page "Dear Member of the Institute" sheet presenting this special item to the member. This is the thirty-seventh item in the series of keepsakes of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. The Brothers Johnson not only printed the book, but James Sydney Johnson wrote it. It is a fine specimen of bookmaking. Printed in an edition of seven hundred copies by the Brothers Johnson, with presswork by Lawton Kennedy and the binding by Ralph Liddy. The original wood-engraving, "Christus", is the work of Howard Simon, an Institute exhibitor. Also appreciation is extended to Worthy Paper Company Association. sustaining member of the Institute, in furnishing Aurelian paper for this book. Howard Simon (1902-1979) was a notable American illustrator, painter, and printmaker who is known for his woodcuts. Simon provided illustrations for several dozen books, and his work is displayed in numerous museums. Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), created over 150 works of art, from exquisitely carved cameos to heroic-size public monuments. Works such as the "Standing Lincoln" monument and the Shaw Memorial, continue to inspire people today and his design for the 1907 Twenty Dollar Gold Piece, is considered America's most beautiful coin. Over 100 works of the sculptor are exhibited in the galleries and on the grounds at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park. In 1911, Frederic Goudy, Alfred Stieglitz, and W. A. Dwiggins came together to discuss the creation of an organization that was committed to individuals passionate about communication design. In 1913, president of the National Arts Club, John G. Agar, announced the formation of The American Institute of Graphic Arts during the eighth annual exhibition of "The Books of the Year." The National Arts Club was instrumental in the formation of AIGA in that they helped to form the committee to plan to organize the organization. The committee formed included Charles DeKay and William B. Howland and officially formed the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914. Howland, publisher and editor of The Outlook, was elected president. The goal of the group was to promote excellence in the graphic design profession through its network of local chapters throughout the country. In 1920, AIGA began awarding medals to "individuals who have set standards of excellence over a lifetime of work or have made individual contributions to innovation within the practice of design." Winners have been recognized for design, teaching, writing or leadership of the profession and may honor individuals posthumously.
