5.0 out of 5 stars
A stupendous historical and VISUAL tour-de-force!,
By Beyond-Is-Within Also (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Changing Faces (Paperback)
This eye-popping book is a must-have title for anyone interested in the history of paper ephemera, mechanical novelty items, visual puns and jokes, or especially the history of popular engraving and color reproduction. Also the history of advertising ephemera. The range of material and techniques is encyclopedic, but the pictures themselves deserve special comment on their own. The pix average about 3 per page, and the color rendering (most are in color) is just delicious. This book is the best way I know of to get that idiosyncratic/mellow quality of 19th- to early 20th-century color printing, *and* exposure to pictorial style across an amazingly broad creative and artistic spectrum, in a single inexpensive volume. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.... |
