- Abstract :
- A full catalogue featuring an exhibition of 254 books from the Morris/Levin collection using an international standpoint (including books from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain). An introduction provides a brief history of bookbinding. The catalogue presents a chronologically arranged overview of the stylistic development and the basic course of design (nos. 1-88) and evidence of the phenomenon of variants in bookbinding production of the period (nos. 89-131). The latter considers variant colors, materials, and design. The exhibition also highlights the experimentation characteristic of 19th c. industrial culture (nos. 132-154) and focuses on publishers' design intention. ;
