1918 was a time when all advertising, signage, posters and important documents were hand-lettered with pen & Ink or hand-painted, this extremely rare original book acted as a guide for illustrators, artists and designers. This was published in the era was between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, but you can see examples of both versions in this precious 173-page, oblong hardcover book. Written by William Hugh Gordon, The book has been reprinted but this is a First Edition, 1st pr, with no other printings listed. Found in a Studio prop house, and likely appearing in a film or TV show, this is a splendid print history book for artists, designers and fashionistas. I could not find another original on the net. This is in very good antique condition - clean, bright, unmarked. It will be sent, carefully packed, with tracking. A great book for lovers of letters.
Enjoy!.
