Item description from seller

Large oblong quarto. 30pp. An enormous compilation of alphabets and monograms in attractive Art Deco styles, suitable, as indicated by the publisher, for textiles of all kinds. The designs hint at the appropriation of modernist forms to commercial ends, and that the notion of a holistic effort in design and an appeal to abstract shapes gained purchase among the general public. Entirely preserved and unused, unless as a template solely by sight. Bound in blue paper covers ornamented with gold ink titling and backed in textured tape. Modest soiling chiefly to rear cover, slight marginal sunning, central vertical crease through the whole. Near fine. Unrecorded.
