Grolier Club of New York Illustrated by Lynd Ward
Book SynopsisIn Illustrated by Lynd Ward, Robert Dance makes a persuasive case for Lynd Ward's position as one of America's foremost illustrators. Between 1929 and 1937, Ward published six novels without words that tell their stories exclusively through woodcuts. Dance's opening essay provides readers with a detailed introduction to Ward, considered by some to be a forebearer to modern-day graphic novelists. All six novels are featured, as well as Ward's work in book arts and illustration, which encompasses wood engravings, dust jackets, and other illustrations; fine press books; and classic children's books. Copublished with Impermanent Press to coincide with a 2015 exhibition at the Grolier Club, Illustrated by Lynd Ward contains annotated descriptions of 246 items, arranged chronologically and according to format.

Morgan and Paul Mellon come to life through bookplates by such celebrated figures as Dorothy Sturgis Harding, Eric Gill, Walter Crane, Rudolph Koch, and Rockwell Kent.

Getty Trust Publications St. Albans Psalter – Painting and Prayer in
Book SynopsisThis is a fascinating look at one of the world's most important and renowned 12th-century manuscripts. The St. Albans Psalter is one of the most important, famous, and puzzling books produced in 12th-century England. It was probably created between 1120 and 1140 at St. Albans Abbey. The manuscript's powerfully drawn figures and saturated colours are distinct from those in previous Anglo-Saxon painting and signal the arrival of the Romanesque style of illumination in England. Although most 12th-century prayer books were not illustrated, the St. Albans Psalter includes more than 40 full-page illuminations and over 200 historiated initials. Decorated with gold and precious colours, the psalter offers a display unparalleled by any other English manuscript to survive from the time. In 2012, scholars conservators, and scientists at the J. Paul Getty Musesum conducted a close examination of the Psalter, gathering new evidence challenging several prevailing assumptions about this richly illustrated manuscript.

Getty Trust Publications The Adventures of Gillion de Trazegnies -
Book SynopsisOne of the finest works from the golden era of Flemish manuscript illumination, the Getty's copy of the Romance of Gillion de Trazegnies tells of the adventures of a medieval nobleman. Part travelogue, part romance, and part epic, the text traces the exciting exploits of Gillion as he journeys to Jerusalem on pilgrimage, is imprisoned in Egypt and rises to the command of the Sultan's armies, mistakenly becomes a bigamist first with a Christian and then a Muslim wife, and dies in battle as a glorious hero. The tale encompasses the most thrilling elements of the Western romance genre -- love, villainy, loyalty, and war -- set against the backdrop of the East. This lavishly illustrated volume reveals for the first time the complexity of this illuminated romance. A complete reproduction of the book's illustrations and a partial translation of the text appear along with essays that explore the manuscript's vibrant cultural, historical, and artistic contexts. The innovative illuminations, by the renowned artist Lieven van Lathem, juxtapose the reality of medieval Europe with an idealized vision of the East. This unusual pairing, found in the text and illustrations, is the source of a rich discussion of the fifteenth-century political situation in the West and the Crusades in the East.Trade Review"Elizabeth Morrison and Zrinka Stahuljak's monograph provides an excellent introduction to this manuscript that is both accessible to general readers as well as to specialists in the field."--Renaissance Quarterly ..".[a] sumptuously produced and indisputably elegant work..."--The Times Literary Supplement

NewSouth Publishing The Naturalist: The remarkable life of Allan Riverstone McCulloch
Book SynopsisAllan Riverstone McCulloch (1885–1925) was a leading scientist and talented illustrator, the Australian Museum's most senior curator and its star exhibition designer. Yet history has ignored his many contributions.A free spirit and an expert on Australia's fish species, McCulloch was happiest on field trips collecting specimens on the Great Barrier Reef, Lord Howe Island and beyond. He escaped office politics at the museum to accompany cinematographer Frank Hurley on an expedition to tropical Papua in 1922, but controversy erupted when officials accused them of stealing secret, sacred artefacts for the museum's collection. The trip also left McCulloch with dysentery and malaria, and his mental health declined.In The Naturalist, Brendan Atkins explores McCulloch's scientific genius and artistic talents, and his crucial role in the development of the Australian Museum. It's a fascinating and unflinching look at the remarkable life of a brilliant yet troubled Australian.

Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd A Library of Manuscripts from India
Book SynopsisThe rich variety of languages, religious traditions and schools of art of the Indian subcontinent are brought together in this exceptional library of Indian manuscripts. Religious and philosophical texts from Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Sikh and Zoroastrian schools of thought are all represented in illustrated manuscripts. This library shows how these various faiths borrowed, interacted and influenced one another in the subcontinent. From palm leaf manuscripts of the South to pothi format manuals from the Himalayas in Nepal, to the sophisticated and highly illustrated manuscripts of the Imperial Moghul court, this catalogue takes the reader on a visual journey through great epics, charged romances and colourful cautionary tales. Highlights include an important and lavishly illustrated palm-leaf manuscript by ‘The Emperor of Poets’, Upendra Bhanja (c. 1640–1740 ce), and a rare Bihar-I Danesh (The Springtime of Knowledge) by Shaikh ‘Inayatallah Kamboh of Delhi, from late 17th/early 18th century – the finest known copy of the manuscript. An exceptional album of 18th-century Indian paintings from the Liechtenstein Princely Collections offers insight into the fascination for Indian courtly life among the nobility of Europe. A number of exceptional painted scrolls are also presented here. Scroll painting has a long history in India. Story tellers would travel from village to village giving performances of well-known epics and regional stories often accompanied by musicians and with the visual aid of a painted scroll. One particularly vibrant scroll, over 15 metres in length, of the Madel Puranamu, was probably commissioned by a wealthy member of the dhobi caste to celebrate his community’s origins and favour with Shiva. Among the many intruiging maps and manuals – on art, astrology, omens, divination and auspicious symbols – is an 18th-century Nepalese sorcer’s manual, which contains instructions for protective and exorcistic Shaiva rituals, mantras and sacrificial blood-offerings. Its binding includes feathers and traces of blood and skin, which by tradition are fragments of the ‘five beasts’ – buffalo, chicken, dog, goat and cow.

Book SynopsisRegarding Frames explores the ways that literary comics engage readers in the mutual construction of meaning. Part interpretive criticism, part philosophical meditation, Regarding Frames: Thinking with Comics in the Twenty-First Century explores the ways that literary comics engage readers in the mutual construction of meaning. Kwa draws from a wide range of philosophical, critical, and theoretical texts to analyze the visual and verbal narrative strategies that artists use. She examines the work of comic artists Gabrielle Bell, Michael DeForge, Kevin Huizenga, Laura Park, and Dash Shaw who construct their particular visions of the world. These creators' experiments with form pose questions about the difference between how things appear to be and how they are. Regarding Frames makes a case for the rewards of close reading at the surface.Table of Contentsix Preface and Acknowledgments xix Introduction Regarding Frames: Thinking with Comics in the Twenty-First Century 1 Chapter 1 Gabrielle Bell Makes Her Point 39 Chapter 2 Lingering at the Surface: Kevin Huizenga's Rhythmic Time Signatures 79 Chapter 3 Next Level: Separations in the Work of Dash Shaw 109 Chapter 4 The Impossible Objects of Michael DeForge 153 Chapter 5 Tiny Voices: Laura Park and the Narratives of Scale 179 Epilogue 183 Bibliography 194 Index 204 Colophon

Lars Muller Publishers Modern Man in the Making
Book SynopsisOtto Neurath's famous Modern Man in the Making, first published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1939, captures and describes the state of the world in the 1930s by using text and figurative illustrations. From 1925 onwards, Neurath and his team had worked on a new visual language termed Isotype (International System of Typographic Picture Education). At a time that saw the rise of new mass media making hitherto unthinkable amounts of information available, Neurath felt the need for a systematic visualization explaining facts, statistic data and comparative numbers in simple ways. The book can be seen as one of the most influential predecessors of today's ever-present infographics. Its mission was to analyze the fundamental trends in the social, political and economic life of humanity. The topics covered in the book include diverse social issues of the time such as mortality, health, employment, trade, education, mobility, migration and demographics.Modern Man in the Making shows Neurath's democr

HarperCollins Illustrated Black History
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This vivid survey of Black history leaps off the page." — Publishers Weekly “In this vibrant, inclusive collection, McCalman honors the legacies of 145 Black Americans whose societal contributions cannot be overstated. His profiles and watercolors are wonderfully diverse, including both live and deceased; recognizable and lesser known; contemporary and historic... Accessible, important, and germane to the very fabric of American life, this moving collection of illustration and biography artistically reflects struggle, achievement, and perseverance... An enthusiastic, informative, and essential ode to Black American history.” — Kirkus Reviews "A unique and engaging entry point into Black history that will no doubt inspire further research into extraordinary figures from the past and present." — Booklist "Black icons and pioneers honored in a stunning new collection... The work is a testament to the urgency of our time here: how little of it there is, and how much we can give despite it." — San Francisco Chronicle “I have always gotten such a lift from George McCalman’s work—both spiritual and visual. His charming, informed, and always heartfelt art says so much about Black American life and history that he is now an essential part of the dialogue. What a gift this book is.” — Hilton Als, critic for The New Yorker, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism “In Illustrated Black History, George McCalman brings all of his brilliance—his whole heart, his keen artistic eye, his command of the written word—to this dazzling celebration of Black people. Not since Toni Morrison’s The Black Book has Black history been so vibrantly or imaginatively catalogued. We are all richer and wiser for it.” — Natalie Baszile, bestselling author of Queen Sugar and We Are Each Other's Harvest “Black history remains dynamic, yet certain assumptions are often baked into text. Illustrated Black History invites us with a beginner’s mind to stay rooted in community to keep the past alive. George McCalman’s pen projects the lives of Black luminaries who, for as long as they have shone, deserve richer tones and subtle shades, too. This book will serve as a lighthouse whose sweeping lamp will unsettle staid perspectives and confirm what most of us know in our hearts: Black people have led irresistibly exciting lives across time.” — George Aumoithe, Assistant Professor of History and African American Studies, Harvard “The experiences and narratives of Black folk throughout time and space are boundless. As you read and study the images throughout this captivating work you will appreciate the respect shown in honoring both the collective and individual histories: from the figures chosen; the essays written; and the range of mediums and approaches used in the over 140 beautiful portraits. The care and reverence shown to the Black lived experiences shines clear in this brilliant and timely work that captures both the known and especially the unseen.” — Anyabwile Love, PHD, History and Black Studies professor, Community College of Philadelphia. “Through his design studio, George McCalman has created book covers and print images that draw readers in to want to open the pages and discover more. He’s taken that same approach with this book, serving as a griot, beautifully sharing the stories of astounding and often undercelebrated people, who are united by their Blackness toward a common goal of equality and a fairer society for all.” — Wyatt Cenac, Comedian

The University of Alabama Press Artistic Liberties American Literary Realism and
Book SynopsisArtistic Liberties is a landmark study of the illustrations that originally accompanied now-classic works of American literary realism and the ways editors, authors, and illustrators vied for authority over the publications. Though today, we commonly read major works of nineteenth-century American literature in unillustrated paperbacks or anthologies, many of them first appeared as magazine serials, accompanied by ample illustrations that sometimes made their way into the serials' first printings as books. The graphic artists creating these illustrations often visually addressed questions that the authors had left for the reader to interpret, such as the complexions of racially ambiguous characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin. The artists created illustrations that depicted what outsiders saw in Huck and Jim in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, rather than what Huck and Jim learned to see in one another. These artists even worked against the texts on occasionfor instance, when the illustrators

Designed and implemented during a time of political divisiveness, the Poetries – Politics project created a space of inviting, multilingual walls on the Rutgers campus, celebrating diversity, community, and cross-cultural exchange. This book, like the original project, provides a platform for the incredible generative power of student-led work. Essays feature the perspectives of three students and professors originally involved in the project, reflecting on their learning and exploring the works they selected for the original exhibition. The essays lead to a beautifully illustrated catalogue of the original student designs.Reproduced in full color and with the accompanying poems in both their original language and a translation, this catalogue commemorates the incredible creative spirit of the project and provides a new way of contemplating these great poetic works.Trade Review"As someone who has spent a career in collaborative endeavors, I cannot think of a more engaging, noble, and timely project than this.

Bohlau Verlag Aubrey Beardsleys Rezeption des 18. Jahrhunderts
Book SynopsisIn ihrem Buch widmet sich Lisa Hecht einem bisher weitestgehend vernachlassigten Aspekt im Werk des englischen Zeichners und Autors Aubrey Beardsley: der im 19. Jahrhundert weit verbreiteten Begeisterung fur das Ancien Regime. So ist Beardsleys Umgang mit Referenzen und Quellen des englischen und franzosischen 18. Jahrhunderts einer selbstreflexiven und (selbst)-parodistischen Haltung verpflichtet. Neben einer Einfuhrung in die Rokoko-Rezeption in Frankreich und England werden die betrachteten Werke in den kulturellen Rahmen der 1890er Jahre eingeordnet. Nicht nur im Werk Beardsleys oszilliert die Hinwendung zum Rokoko zwischen Rechtfertigungsgestus und subversivem Habitus wie sich zeigen lasst. Die Publikation richtet den Fokus auf die Analyse ausgewahlter Beispiele und auf fruchtbare Bildvergleiche, die Beardsleys Wahlverwandtschaft zu realen und fiktiven Figuren des 18. Jahrhunderts offenbaren. Des Weiteren werden kulturelle Kontinuitaten etwa auf der Ebene des erotischen oder exotischen Bildes sichtbar, welche zwei nur scheinbar disparate Epochen verbinden.
