YEAR BOOK for 1909-10

The American Annual Review of the
Reproductive Section of the Graphic Arts

Edited by JOSEPH MEADON

The "Graphic Arts Year Book" is now in its fourth year. It is conceded to be the most beautifully printed and bound annual review in the world. The new edition contains 480 pages of technical and literary matter pertaining to the allied arts and crafts of designing, engraving and printing, by the various processes. Size of page is 8 x 10 inches, bound in half-leather; printed upon Strathmore Japan, with top edge gold, and front edge deckled; leaves cut.

A work of art, a symposium of the best work
of the year, printed in colors and monochrome

The "Boston Globe" published the following review of "The Graphic Arts Year Book":

"The men who are interested in the making of books, magazines or newspapers; the men who are interested in printing and the various kinds of engraving, the men who want to know what has been done in the past in the graphic and printing arts and who wish to know about where America stands today in these things, will all find "The Graphic Arts and Crafts Year Book" the most valuable publication on these various subjects which has probably ever been gotten up. Certainly nothing quite so up-to-date and so constructively beautiful in itself has yet made its appearance.

"It is a mine, an encyclopedia, of useful information not only in the matter of historical data and information, but also on the practical side of the various subjects considered. And the beauty of it is, each separate subject is considered by an expert, and usually an expert who is gifted with the power sane and adequate literary expression. The printing and engraving world would be very much poorer without this book which shows in its getup and makeup an intelligent and broad discrimination on the part of the publishers, for this is no small undertaking.

"In this volume are a great number of illustrations-artistic illustrations-by means of the various black-and-white and colored processes-especially the processes which are used in relief printing, although there is one very fine intaglio photogravure used as a frontispiece. It is a copy of a painting by Marshall Johnson of the frigate Constitution, under full sail, engraved by A. W. Elson & Co. All of the colored illustrations, done in the three-color photo process, are of a high order of workmanship.

"In the volume may also be seen in connection with articles on wood engraving, some splendid examples of the work of the two great American masters of this art-Henry Wolf and Timothy Cole. Mr. Wolf contributes an article on the art of wood engraving a sort of swan song-for it is an art which is slowly dying from the world in which it has lived for about five hundred years.

"The specimens of printing and the various articles on printing, on lettering, and on processes in illustration are all of the best."
