History of Book Cover Design    NEW!

Can a book be judged by its cover? Maybe not, but by the late 1800s, book covers became the canvas for beautiful decorative designs. We will look at examples of book covers and dust jackets by American and British artists such as Margaret Armstrong, Maxfield Parrish and N.C. Wyeth, and consider how their designs influenced magazine covers, illustrations and classical children’s books.
