Artists of the Book in Boston, 1890-1910

By the end of the nineteenth century, Boston's literary importance was on the wane. Printing and publishing, however, remained the city's largest industries; out of this turbulent time emerged a demimonde of designers and illustrators who took advantage of the opportunities offered by Boston's publishing world. At once spare and sumptuous, abstract and organic, the bindings and illustrations created by such artists as William Addison Dwiggins, Elisha Brown Bird, and Sarah Wyman Whitman encompassed a lively and distinctive modernity. Nancy Finlay's catalogue celebrates the efflorescence of these artists of the book.
