Description
London: George Harrap & Co, 1932. First thus. Very Good +. One of 575 copies signed by Arthur Rackham. Octavo (8 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches; 222 x 146 mm.). 47, [1] pp. Four color plates and fifteen drawings in black and white. Original limp vellum. Pictorial endpapers in green and white. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Some toning to endpapers. Housed in a custom green cloth clamshell case (lacking the original slipcase). A Very Good+ copy. The King of the Golden River or The Black Brothers: A Legend of Stiria, is a children's fantasy-adventure novel by the English critic John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) first published in 1851. The parable follows Gluck, the youngest and kindest of three brothers, whose meeting with the magical King of the Golden River changes his life forever, while teaching the reader about generosity along the way. A departure from most of his literary output, the book was originally written for the twelve-year old Effie Gray, who Ruskin would later marry and who would eventually leave him for John Everett Millais. Ruskin would later praise "the value of the traditional tales, with their power 'to fortify children against the glacial cold of selfish science'-a sentiment which lies at the heart of his own story" (The Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales). Arthur Rackham (1867 - 1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper in 1892. Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic - from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Latimore and Haskell, p. 67. Riall, p. 176. Very Good +.

(New York, NY): Business Week, 1961. since broadside, folded once. Sutnar, Ladislav. 4to. since broadside, folded once. 4-panel fold-out. This reprint of the article which was featured in Business Week, August 12, 1961. A fine copy. The article announces the exhibition of Ladislav Sutnar's work at the Pepsi-Cola Building in New York hosted by the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Black and white illustrations of the exhibition. Ladislav Sutnar (1897 - 1976) has won acclaim both in Europe and the United States. After leaving Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, he was the Chief designer for Czechoslovakia at the 1939 World's Fair. After one desperate year of looking for a job in New York, in 1941 Ladislav Sutnar met Knud Lönberg-Holm,the Danish-born architect who was director of Research at Sweet's Catalog Service. Holm hired Sutnar as art director. Sweet's Catalog Service was the producer of trade, construction,and hardware catalogs that were distributed to businesses and architects throughout the United States. Sutnar and Holm radically transformed the organization and presentation of technical and commercial information. Although he is uncredited, his contributions to business organization benefited society, which included creating a user-friendly telephone directory by implementing parenthetical area codes. Mildred Constantine wrote about Sutnar in 1961: " There is a force and meaningful consistency in Sutnar's entire body of work, which permits him to express himself with a rich diversity in exhibition design and the broad variations of graphic design. Sutnar has the assured stature of th integrated designer." Sutnar said "If a graphic design is to elicit greater intensity of perception and comprehension of contents,the designer should be aware of the following principles: 1) optical interest,which arouses attention and forces the eye to action; 2) visual simplicity of image and structure allowing quick reading and comprehension of the contents; and 3) visual continuity, which allows the clear understanding of the sequence of elements.
