Before the age of the paper book jacket, publishers issued their
books in cloth-covered boards, which were stamped with designs in
golf leaf and color. From around 1860, artists of the Arts and
Crafts movement supplied many of the best designs. Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, William Morris and Walter Crane led the way, and they
were followed in the 1890s by Laurence Housman, Charles Ricketts
and Selwyn Image, among others. Prominent Arts and Crafts
architects, such as Philip Webb and C.F.A. Voysey, also designed
book covers. Malcolm Haslam explores this uncharted territory,
investigating not only the designs and designers, but the
publishers and binders as well. He introduces some artists, little
known today, whose designs filled the bookshops and bookshelves of
late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, and he shows how designers in
Europe and America were influenced by British book covers decorated
in the Arts and Crafts style. Ninety-nine of the best covers are
illustrated and described, and details are given of over fifty Arts
and Crafts designers who worked in commercial book production, and
their marks and monograms are shown."
