Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed by Chiswick Press. Bound in publisher's original quarter Holland-backed blue paper boards, with blue linen spine and black titles to cover. Printed on fine, handmade, heavy paper. Uncut, deckled edges. Colophon. [iv], 45, [iv] pp. Part of a William Morris series comprising f…ive octavo books printed at the Chiswick Press with the Golden type designed by Morris for his Kelmscott Press, 1898-1901. "Lecture III: Some Hints on Pattern-Designing," was delivered by Morris at the Working Men's College, London, on December 10, 1881. The book was finished on the fourth day of October, 1899. An important essay which "summarizes succinctly views which would apply equally well to any branch of applied art." As Walter Crane wrote of Morris's far-reaching aesthetic philosophy, "if it has not turned all British craftsmen into artists or all British artists into craftsmen, it has done not little to expand and socialize the idea of art, and (perhaps it is not too much to say) has made the tasteful English house with its furniture and decorations a model for the civilized world." [PMM 367.] Two small stains to front cover. Condition overall: Good+.

Contact seller3-star sellerFIRST EDITION. 210 x 140 mm. (8 1/4 x 5 1/2"). 1 p.l., 45 pp. Publisher's linen-backed gray paper boards, printed title on upper cover. LARGELY UNOPENED. Slip with "Lynval Davidson's Book" calligraphed in red and black laid in at front. PMM 367b; LeMire A-94.01. Just a vague hint of soiling, offsetting from turn-ins onto free en…dpapers, but still quite a fine copy. Printed in the Golden type designed by William Morris for the Kelmscott Press, this book, from an 1881 lecture delivered to the Working Men's College in London, is cited by "Printing and the Mind of Man" for vindicating Morris' claim that "good design should be extended to objects for use as well as objects of art." This copy is from the library of Lynval Davidson (1887-1964), whose notable collection of private press books was sold in two parts by Parke-Bernet in 1969.

Printing and the Mind of Man 367. Four works, octavo. Original holland boards with cloth spines and blue paper over boards, titles to front boards in black.
