Download or read book Of the Extra Illustration of Books Classic Reprint written by William Loring Andrews and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Extra Illustration of Books If the book to be illustrated is well chosen, and taste and discrimination are exercised in its embellishment, the outcome will be as satisfactory in this as in many otherlines of book collecting. Only the ultra refined bibliophile will deny that a Pepys' Diary, interleaved with the quaintly beauti ful graven efiigies of the seventeenth century in their emblematic and fioriated borders, or the Memoirs of saint-simon, between the pages of which repose the delic ately engraved plates of Ficquet, Savart, or the inimitable Grateloup, are desirable additions to a collection of fine books. When it comes to crowding a Bible or a Shakespeare with engravings by the thousand in sets of dreary uniformity as long as your arm, we confess that extra illustration is a delusion and a snare, and a weariness to the flesh. Variety is the very essence of a book of this kind. If it lacks this spice it is bereft of a charm that is peculiarly its own.

Download or read book Facing the Text written by Lucy Peltz and published by Huntington Library Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thousands of books were customized with prints and drawings in a practice called extra-illustration. These books were often massively extended, lavishly bound, and prized by their owners as objects of display, status, and exchange. The scale of these compilations as well as their interdisciplinary nature - at once literary texts, printed books, art collections, and indexes of visual culture - have typically excluded them from histories of art and literature.0In this book, Lucy Peltz maps a history of extra-illustration and its social and cultural meanings, providing a fascinating account of the practice itself and the often colourful personalities who engaged in it. The remarkable contents of key extra-illustrated books are explored, along with the broader historical and commercial contexts in which they were produced and enjoyed.
Download or read book The Chronicles of America Series Vol 42 written by Allen Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chronicles of America Series, Vol. 42: Extra-Illustrated Edition The South of today is not the South of 1860 or even of 1865. There is a New South, though not perhaps in the sense usually understood, for no ex pression has been more often misused in super ficial discussion. Men have written as if the phrase indicated a new land and a new civilization, utterly unlike anything that had existed before and involv ing a sharp break with the history and the tradi tions of the past. Nothing could be more untrue. Peeples do not in one generation or in two rid themselves entirely of characteristics which have been developing for centuries.

Download or read book The Dr Seuss Catalog written by Richard H.F. Lindemann and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodor Seuss Geisel--known worldwide as the beloved children's author Dr. Seuss--produced a body of work that spans more than 70 years. Though most often associated with children's books, he frequently contributed cartoons and humorous essays to popular magazines, produced effective and memorable advertising campaigns ("Quick, Henry, the Flit!"), and won Oscars and Emmys for motion picture productions, animated shorts, and features. As founder and president of Beginner Books, his influence on children's book publishing was revolutionary, especially in the field of elementary readers. Geisel's prolific career--he wrote or contributed illustrations to more than 75 books, most of which have been reprinted repeatedly and translated worldwide--and his predilection for made-up creatures make this joint bibliography and iconography especially useful to readers and researchers. The exhaustive bibliography is arranged chronologically, providing full bibliographic information, including translations as they appear, reissue information, and descriptions of the binding. The iconography links more than 900 fictional names, places and terms to the works in which they appear. For the reader seeking a first edition of Quomodo Invidiosulus Nomine Grinchus Christi Natalem Abrogaverit (How the Grinch Stole Christmas! translated into Latin) or hoping to identify "abrasion-contusions" (race cars in If I Ran the Circus!), this work promises as much discovery as a walk down Mulberry Street.
