Description: First edition, 1896. One of the Ex Libris series, edited by Gleeson White. According to the prospectus, the book was to be published in imperial 16mo. (In fours), [i - iv], v - xii, 335pp. Original prospectus sheets bound in at rear. Rebound in modern half calf over marbled paper boards. Same marbled paper used for the endpapers. Five raised bands to spine with gilt and contrasting title panel. Top edge gilt. Page edges appear to have been retrimmed but plenty of margin remaining. "This book has 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. Within its own lines I hope that if not exhaustive, the book may be found fairly representative of the chief historical and contemporary." types of decorative book-illustration.The book will contain a very large number of illustrations, many reproduced by special permission from Mr William Morris's beautiful collection of early printed books." (Walter Crane, from the prospectus). Profusely illustrated throughout and with an appendix of half-tone plates with tissue guards. Book in very good+ condition. Very nicely rebound. Text block solid and tight. Very occasional and light spotting/toning. Free of inscriptions and other marks. Tissue guards a little toned around the edges. No jacket.
