Download or read book Book Parts written by Dennis Duncan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would an anatomy of the book look like? There is the main text, of course, the file that the author proudly submits to their publisher. But around this, hemming it in on the page or enclosing it at the front and back of the book, there are dozens of other texts—page numbers and running heads, copyright statements and errata lists—each possessed of particular conventions, each with their own lively histories. To consider these paratexts—recalling them from the margins, letting them take centre stage—is to be reminded that no book is the sole work of the author whose name appears on the cover; rather, every book is the sum of a series of collaborations. It is to be reminded, also, that not everything is intended for us, the readers. There are sections that are solely directed at others—binders, librarians, lawyers—parts of the book that, if they are working well, are working discreetly, like a theatrical prompt, whispering out of the audience's ear-shot Book Parts is a bold and imaginative intervention in the fast growing field of book history: it pulls the book apart. Over twenty-two chapters, Book Parts tells the story of the components of the book: from title pages to endleaves; from dust jackets to indexes—and just about everything in between. Book Parts covers a broad historical range that runs from the pre-print era to the digital, bringing together the expertise of some of the most exciting scholars working on book history today in order to shine a new light on these elements hiding in plain sight in the books we all read.

Download or read book Historic Ornament written by C. B. Griesbach and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 1975 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 900 illustrations in this book comprise a vast collection of decorative motifs ranging in origin from the ancient world to the West on the verge of the industrial age. The designs and motifs assembled here come from metalwork, architectural reliefs, bookbinding, statuary, inlay work, tile design, fabric and furniture design and other sources. They show how these various ideas were carried out and changed over history; they also furnish an extraordinary sourcebook for contemporary designers and commercial artists. Beginning with Egyptian capitals and friezes, pottery designs and architectural ornaments of ancient Greece, this volume surveys the precursors and all major styles of European design through the 18th century, with great attention to national differences in style as these emerged and flourished. Dozens of overall designs and borders are included along with full illustrations of gates and latches, chalices, chairs, utensils, grillwork, sculpture, wall panels and ceilings, bowls, keys, candlesticks, and fountains rendered in floral patterns, geometrics, scrollwork, bacchanals, religious and heraldic symbols, with real and fantastic beasts, lattices and more. The original captions have been translated into English for this edition. While there are several other books that are roughly comparable as compendiums of historical ornament, this work offers perhaps the best renderings, both for historical accuracy and sharpness and clarity of technique. Students of the history of architecture and design will find here a valuable survey and reference for their work. Commercial artists, advertisers, illustrators, decorators, and craftsmen will find both numerous design ideas to take off from and hundreds of items to take whole -- classical columns, Italian Renaissance lion's heads and fountains -- for use in graphics assignments and any number of designs. - Back cover.
