This ground-breaking meticulous study deals with the creative explosions of
book cover designs in Victorian Britain from 1830 to 1880. New technical
developments during this time provided many practitioners such as Owen
Jones, Walter Crane and John Leighton the means to attempt wide
experimentation, and at the same time, brake new ground in artistic style.
Edmund King, Head of the Newspaper Archives at the British Library,
describes and indexes over 750 books with great detail. Many covers are
beautifully illustrated in full color or black and white. Co-published with
The British Library.
2003 , Hardcover, 9" x 11", 304 pages, 210 color and b/w illustrations
