Handy Book of Artistic Printing: A Collection of Letterpress Examples with Specimens of Type, Ornament, Corner Fills, Borders, Twisters, Wrinkles, and
Language: English
Published by Princeton Architectural Press June 2009, 2009
ISBN 10: 1568987056 ISBN 13: 9781568987057
Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. During the late nineteenth century, letterpress printers, engravers, and lithographers boldly challenged the rational sobriety of traditional design by introducing intricate borders, corner embellishments, quirky typefaces, and exotic imagery. The style was known as 'artistic' and was quickly taken up by letterpress printers as the design idiom ofchoice for advertisements, packaging, and all of the other ephemera occasioned by the rapid expansion of America's economy. For a while, this commercial style represented the best in popular taste. But just as quickly as this exuberant style was embraced, it fell abruptly out of favor. By century's end, the ornate bits of artistic printing were tossed into the gutter, and the style itself relegated to the dustbin of history. The rise and fall of this highly embellished idiom, which culminated in its denouncement as aesthetically and morallysuspect'a freak of fancy'are traced in this, the first comprehensive study devoted to the history of American artistic printing. Authors Douglas Clouse and Angela Voulangas explore the style's origins in the British Aesthetic Movement and analyze its distinctive features: idiosyncratic color harmonies, eclectic choice of type andornament, compartmentalized compositional strategies. They also present a landmark portfolio of letterpress printing samples, drawn from some of the most important public and private print archives. More than 150 examples of period ephemera, printers' own tour de force promotional pieces, and specimens of type and ornament are reproduced, many for the very first time since their initial circulation more than a century ago. The Handy Book of Artistic Printing celebrates a previously berated and today largely forgotten episode of design historyone of increasing interest in light of the recent embrace of ornament by some leading contemporary designers. This book will be of value to graphic designers, but also to fine artists, visual merchandisers, and collectors of ephemera everywhere. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

This book plunges the reader into the tumultuous world of 18th-century Scotland, where historical events collide with the intimate lives of ordinary people. Set against the backdrop of the Jacobite risings, the book follows the journey of a young Englishman, Edward Waverley, as he navigates the complex landscape of politics, romance, and personal identity. The author masterfully weaves together historical accuracy and evocative storytelling, transporting the reader to a time of political upheaval and cultural clashes.

The book explores the enduring themes of loyalty, duty, and the power of belief, delving into the complexities of human relationships and the choices that shape our lives. The book ultimately offers a nuanced exploration of the forces that shaped a nation, leaving the reader to ponder the enduring power of tradition, the yearning for freedom, and the delicate balance between duty and desire.
