Books & Magazines Wall Art
WALL ARTIllustration made for the printed page followed different rules from painting intended for a wall, since it had to work small, in black and white or limited colour, and alongside set text. Frontispieces introduced a volume with a single dense image, while bookplates marked ownership with a small personal emblem, often heraldic. Illustrated magazines, expanding rapidly from the nineteenth century, commissioned artists to design covers and full pages on a weekly or monthly schedule, giving graphic design a public testing ground it had not had before. Typography, layout and image worked as one unit rather than separately. This grouping gathers that page-based and cover design work.
