Walter Crane's classic study Of the Decorative Illustration of Books Old and New, here in a 1972 reprint of the 1896 George Bell & Sons, London edition. A cornerstone text for anyone interested in the history of book design, illustration, and the Arts and Crafts movement.

The volume is filled with black-and-white illustrations surveying some of the finest book artwork ever produced, including examples from William Morris's celebrated Kelmscott Press. Crane writes as both practitioner and historian, making this equally useful to collectors, illustrators, and design students.

Condition is very good: pages are clean, bright, and tightly bound, with spotting along the closed top edge and only occasional interior spots. From a single-owner home library assembled over three generations of bibliophiles; most volumes were collected rather than read. No duplicates available, and shipping is combined on multiple purchases.
