Bookplates of the Kings: Christine Price's Catalogue of Royal Bookplates
ISBN: 9780944285824 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Possibly the formal study of book plates can be dated to the work of Lord de Tabley in the 1880s. He attempted a schema of British plates, starting with the pre-Reformation period and identifying Jacobean, Queen Anne and Georgian styles. Plates as a reflection of the times have continued to multiply and, with the advent of the ebook, a growing number of plates are appended to electronic books. Royal bookplates, as this volume illustrates, are an important aspect of the subject. A Guide to the Study of Book-Plates (Ex-Libris), by Lord de Tabley (then the Hon. J. Leicester Warren M.A.) was...

A Definitive Commentary on Bookplates: Edward Gordon Craig's Nothing, or The Bookplate
ISBN: 9780944285848 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Edward Gordon Craig was an artist philosopher whose daring stage sets were many years ahead of their time and whose theories about the use of masks in theater remain startling even today. His work with bookplates is too little remembered, but the designs are a wonderful introduction to his aesthetic theories and his experiments with light and shadow, as this unique volume illustrates.

British Railway Tickets
ISBN: 9780747808442 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1838 Thomas Edmondson, an employee of the fledgling Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, revolutionized the ticket issuing process in Britain and left an enduring legacy: the Edmondson ticket. Purchased as proof of the contract between passenger and railway company, the ticket was a receipt, travel pass and an ephemeral record of almost every train journey ever taken in the British Isles, reflecting the nostalgia of the railways and a period of history when the movement of millions of people brought together England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The railways printed millions of tickets for every...

Living with Postcards is a non-fiction book that describes the author's close relationship with old postcards, mainly fantasy ones. She has collected them since the nineteen seventies and now owns over two thousand of these charming, beautiful, historic items. She started fanatically collecting them whilst writing her thesis on Fantasy in Postcards at Art College, where she was studying for a graphic design degree. Her thesis won her a first with distinction, whereas her graphic art annoyingly gained her only a 2:2. She was asked by her art history tutor to lecture on the subject of fantasy...
