Book excerpt: In fall 1996, the Cotsen staff began compiling a multi-volume book catalogue of the research collection, with support from the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and the Technical Services Department of the Princeton University Library.00With the publication in 2019 of 'The Nineteenth Century' volumes I (A-K) and II (L-Z), the project now covers publications of the 19th and 20th centuries. These two volumes of the descriptive catalogue include more than 6,370 entries of 19th century illustrated children's books, continuing the series of printed catalogues first published in 2000 and 2003 covering 20th century imprints.00Still planned are a volume covering pre-1801 imprints and an index. When competed, the material will comprise about 20,000 items chiefly in European languages out of a total over 100,000 items published during the fifteenth through twentieth centuries. The entries include detailed notes on illustrations, contents, bindings, and previous owners. As so many children's books appear without dates of publication on their title pages, every attempt has been made to assign an accurate date of issue based on internal evidence and authoritative reference sources in print and on-line. The text is enlivened with more than 270 color-printed illustrations, many full size.0.

Download or read book Neatly Dissected written by Jill Shefrin and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Also available in hardcover version (ISBN 978-0-9666084-2-7). John Spilsbury, who styled himself an "Engraver and Map Dissector in Wood, in Order to Facilitate the Teaching of Geography," is credited with the invention of "dissected maps" / hand-colored maps, printed from copper plates, which were mounted on thin sheets of mahogany and cut into pieces according to the political borders of the region mapped. The discovery of an extraordinary set of five of John Spilsbury's dissected puzzles, and its acquisition by the Cotsen Children's Library (Los Angeles) has provided a valuable opportunity to reassess Spilsbury's intention and the place of dissected puzzles and other geographical pastimes in the history of education in eighteenth-century Britain. This study of the context in which these puzzles first appeared reveals the extent of the links between the children's book and map trades in 18th-century London, and sheds new light on the history of progressive British education during that time.

Download or read book Virtue by Design written by Don Cohn and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese holdings of the Cotsen Children's Library consist of more than 35,000 items from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The collection comprises the entire range of printed matter a child might encounter in his or her daily life. Primers, textbooks, song books, arts and crafts handbooks, dictionaries, supplementary readers, wall posters and slides from the school classroom, comic books, magazines, newspapers, riddle and puzzle books, board games, cigarette cards, and cram-school manuals for extracurricular reading are all part of the library's Chinese collection, as are nursery rhymes, fairy tales, science fiction, and adventure stories for bedtime reading. The collection spans four centuries, from the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644) to the present day. Virtue by Design concentrates on illustrated books, periodicals, and other printed matter, presenting more than 200 pictures arranged chronologically. The principal criteria for the selection of the pictures are visual interest and the power of the illustration to represent a particular period, ideology, concept, or political movement. These pictures chronicle the history of Chinese society, revealing the values, fashions and tastes of the time. They also provide information about social class, discipline, etiquette, family structure, dress, architecture, and cuisine. One particular aim of the Chinese collection of the Cotsen Children's Library is to show the impact of politics on children's books published from the late "Mao Zedong period" (1949-76) to the "Deng Xiaoping period" (1978-present). Both regimes are amply represented in the present book.

Download or read book One Hundred Books Famous in Typography written by Jerry Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a foundational aspect of publishing, from Gutenberg's press to today's digital type. It's common knowledge that the name Gutenberg and the words "moveable type" go together. What's far less known is that Garamond, Baskerville, and Bodoni aren't just font options in a word processing dropdown menu, but the names of some of the real punchcutters and type designers who raised the essential work of typography to the level of art. One Hundred Books Famous in Typography, the latest entry in the Grolier Club's prestigious Grolier Hundred series, is the story of art and technology working in harmony with each other, all the way from Johannes Gutenberg's ingenious development of a system for reproducing texts through the introduction of newer technologies like hot-metal line casting, phototype, and digital type. Featuring scholarly yet accessible context for the works discussed and their typographical significance, and illustrated with more than two hundred images, Jerry Kelly's book is the most comprehensive exploration yet of this essential facet of bookmaking and publishing.

Book excerpt: "This book offers a comprehensive guide to descriptive bibliography--the activity of describing books as physical objects. The function of descriptive bibliography is to provide detailed historical accounts of the varied material forms in which texts have been transmitted and to show the relationships among those examples that claim to carry texts of the same work. The first part of this book contains five essays on general topics: an introduction to the field and its history; its relation to library cataloguing; the concept of ideal copy; the meanings of edition, impression, issue, and state; and tolerances in reporting details. The second part covers more specific subjects: transcription and collation; format; paper; typography and layout; typesetting and presswork; non-letterpress material; publishers' bindings, endpapers, and jackets; and overall arrangement. At the end is an appendix containing a sample description with detailed commentary, followed by a record of the literature of descriptive bibliography"--
Download or read book Ok I ll Do it Myself written by Caroline F. Schimmel and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected from the Caroline F. Schimmel Collectionof Women in the American Wilderness, these one hundred and forty-five books, photographs, manuscripts, and memorabilia by one hundred and one women and one man, dating from 1682 to 2015, reflect the sweep of women's experiences in the American wilderness. They range from Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium (1705), Maria Sibylla Merian's monumental study of the flora and fauna of Surinam, hand-printed and probably hand-colored by her, to sharpshooter and entertainer Annie Oakley's travel trunk and gloves, and a souvenir envelope with a one-inch red heart through which she shot from a distance of twenty feet. This is the revised second edition of the full-color catalogue that documents an exhibition of the same name.
Download or read book In Search of the Book As a Work of Art written by Alan Loney and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of the Book as a Work of Art asks questions about how we understand the words 'art' and 'book' and what happens when we put them together. It argues that the categories by which we have distinguished different kinds of books no longer tell us what we are looking at when we look at new books, including many made by trade publishers. Categories like 'fine press book' and 'artist book' have served useful purposes in the past, but are now redundant in the face of the incredible range of categorical overlaps in books that people are actually making. Along the way, this book explores and explodes a number of current ideas about books whose use-by dates are seen by the author as well and truly passed. This work supplements the author's earlier essays, The Books to Come (Cuneiform 2012) and The Printing of a Masterpiece (Black Pepper 2008), with a summation of four decades as a poet, printer, commentator, and publisher in the field. Taking his cue from a long-felt need for 'the book' to be a serious conversation outside of specialist discourse, the author presents an account in plain language about art and about the book that implies no expert knowledge - no technical terms, no specialised concepts, and no need to have the artist or their curators on hand to tell us what we are seeing when we see or pick up any new book. If this book is a critique, it is not a critique of any book made by anyone under the banner of the old categories (private press book, fine press book, artist book, limited edition book, and so on) but it is an examination of the words we use to talk about these books. It wants to know how the non-expert already talks about books and to see if a greater sensitivity to that ordinary language, 'the language of the tribe', is what we need instead of an increase in the complexity of the language with which we talk to each other about books - a turn to the books themselves.
