Commercial Bookbindings: An Historical Sketch, With Some Mention of an Exhibition of Drawings, Covers, and Books, at the Grolier Club, April 5 to April 28, 1894 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Commercial Bookbindings: An Historical Sketch, With Some Mention of an Exhibition of Drawings, Covers, and Books, at the Grolier Club, April 5 to April 28, 1894
But in making any chronology of ornamented commercial book-covers it is evident that there may be no sweeping assertions as to the exact date of the origin Of the species. When it is said, as just now, that the fashion began about thirty years ago, even though the work then done was pitifuny crude, certain exceptions must always be noted. We may go back as far as you please, bearing in mind that all commercial covers are comparatively modern, and still find occasional exammes of commercial covers bear ing some evidence of attempted ornament.
