of the decorative illustration of books old and new
By an English artist and book illustrator, Walter Crane. The book represents Crane’s aesthetic views, along with his other works, The Bases of Design (1898) and Line and Form (1900). This book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book-illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments.
