7.5" x 10", 133 pg hardbound. Out of print.
Filled with elaborate black & white illustration of set designs and inspirational sketches, this book covers the design aspect of British filmmaking up to 1958. It is essentially a catalog of all the important art directors of the period, with examples of their beautiful and dramatic artwork.
This is a book for artists and designers, who will see it as a treasure trove of ideas and technique. I give it a 4-star rating only because the images are in black-and-white.
