Description:
Sydney, 1915. [Scarce study of the waratah in decorative arts. This beautiful work contains illustrated examples of the use of the waratah in many fields of the applied arts, such as architecture (brackets, capitals, columns, ceilings, etc.), bookbinding, ceramics, electric fittings, glassware, ironwork, lace, wallpaper, dado, frieze, windows and woodcarving. Covers the history of the use of the waratah in the decorative arts, at a time when the surge to Federation and nationhood led to greater appreciation of and call for the utilisation of native flora and fauna as well as indigenous materials - wood in particular - instead of those imposed and imported from the Old World. From its first discovery the waratah quickly became popular as a symbol of all that was different and exotic in the new colonies - "the land of the Waratah", particularly in New South Wales althought it is a native of three states. Perhaps one reason for its popularity is the ease with which it can be stylised into an infinite… Read More

Description:
U.S.A.: ITC, 1975. First Edition. Published to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the American typewriter, with designers Joel Kaden and Tony Stan reinvigorating the font by dispensing with its rigid spacing. "On every standard typewriter, there's a metal bar with a row of teeth spaced exactly one-tenth of an inch apart. In 1874 this famous bar lifted the typewriter from the inventor's bench and placed it in the office where it changed our reading habits, modified our concepts of legibility, and eventually opened the world of business to women." Bound in stapled colour paper wrappers, 340 mm x 153 mm, 27 pages, a near fine copy.

Description:
Paris, 1910. An elegant Edwardian catalogue of hand-printed silk shirts, of oriental and Persian design, organic and of the most beautiful quality. "No more corsets, bustles and shoulder pads; they will wear soft, supple, fluid draperies, in soft and melted colours. Finally, the garment adapts to the body... shaped according to the silhouette." -Arthur Liberty Established in 1875, Liberty & Co. created a legacy of great British textile design, opening its first Parisian store after success at the 1889 Exposition Universale. Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843 -1917) shared his circle with pre-Raphaelite painters Dante Gabriel Rosetti and John Everet Millais, and their mutual delight for the ornamentation of medieval illuminated manuscripts suffused their work with flowers. This catalogue dates from Liberty's move to its grand premises on the Boulevard des Capucines. Octavo, 4 leaves, colour illustrations throughout, a fine copy.

Description:
London: H. Hacker Limited, 1962. First Edition. This is literally our list of typefaces, and we make no apology for not showing complete alphabets from 6 to 72 point. However for those who might say, 'what is Flash?', a sample setting is included in the form of useful advice, rather than in 'the quick brown fox' tradition of setting... In the hope that this type list will remain on top of the desk rather than buried by less worthy companions, we have included other items of interest. For example, there are details of some of the standard proof correction marks, the maximum size proof (3 ft 6 ins) that can be returned by post, and a diagrammatic description of what is left of a standard size sheet of paper when it is gripped, trimmed and bled." Oblong octavo, decorated paper boards, 216 x 88 mm, 20 pages, a near fine copy.

Description:
Berlin and Frankfurt, 1930. Only individual sections of this item in the German National Library in Leipzig can be traced by us (dated there "1938?"). It is a quite superb catalogue from the company founded in Bockenheim near Frankfurt in 1878. The headquarters were relocated to Berlin in 1928. The fact that Berlin is placed in front on the title-page perhaps thus suggests the 'thirties, as does the typography and layout. Kabel was a display type of the late twenties however (Klingspor, 1927), so the GNL date seems too late. The printed leaves have repeated motifs (by A. Brinder? Goovaerts, GIP) in different colours and on different papers. In addition to coloured and black offset printing, the book displays special inks such as poster colours, gloss and opaque. Octavo, bound in paper-covered canvas boards, titled in blue, red, black and green in 'Kabel-style', canvas back with screws, 21 cm x 14 cm, 224 leaves + text, with 224 leaves, each with a colour sample (partly in multi-colour printing, also… Read More
