Synopsis
A rich, visual retelling of history, international in scope, this book charts the evolution of print into graphic design between 1700 and 1914. It is organized into six chapters, each beginning with a short introductory text before immersing the reader in a wealth of delightful and fully captioned examples of printed ephemera handbills, posters, advertisements, catalogues and labels that served the demands of the emerging consumer classes of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries and reveal the extraordinary skill, craft, design sense and intelligence of those who created them. A book of great appeal, based on comprehensive, original research, it keys into the new appreciation of craft and hand-rendered graphic design.With around 850 illustrations, many specially photographed from private collections, it will be of immense and lasting interest to graphic designers, design and social historians, as well as collectors of print and printed emphemera alike.

Hardcover. Quarto. Softcover. Sage green boards with small illustrations. 3/4 striped green dj with white lettering. Pretty plum end papers. 312 pp. with 779 illustrations, 560 in color. Who first coined the phrase "graphic design," a term dating from the 1920s, or first referred to themselves as a "graphic designer" are issues still argued to this day. What is certain is that the kinds of printed material a graphic designer could create were around long before the formulation of such a convenient, if sometimes troublesome, term. Here David Jury explores how the "jobbing" printer who produced handbills, posters, catalogues, advertisements, and labels in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries was the true progenitor of graphic design, rather than the "noble presses" of the Arts and Crafts movement. Based on original research and aided by a wealth of delightful and fully captioned examples that reveal the extraordinary skill, craft, design sense, and intelligence of those who created them, the book charts the evolution of "print" into "graphic design." It will be of lasting interest to graphic designers, design and social historians, and collectors of print and printed ephemera alike. VG. bump to rear board near head of spine and bottom fore edge. Otherwise clean and unmarked. Seller Inventory # 161527
