Some Examples of the Work of American Designers (Will Ransom's Copy)

Original pictorial paper boards, newly rebacked with matching paper. Illustrations throughout, featuring the work of 30 graphic designers, ranging from decorative initials and ornaments to reproductions of posters and magazine covers, many of them full-page (one double-page) mostly in color. Printed on specimens of 30 different types of paper made by Dill & Collins, seven of the leaves with multiple paper. Owner's signature of Jeanette E. Samuelson of the N.Y Herald Tribune, dated 1933, on front fly leaf, with her gift inscription. Rear paste-down with the bookplate/shelf label of Will Ransom. Corners and portions of edges of the paper boards somewhat worn, two-inch tape repair to rear in one leaf (crossing a very small portion of a border, without loss), first few leaves a bit spotted around margins, many leaves slightly darkened, a few additional trivial spots, otherwise an excellent copy, generally quite clean. Rare.
