Sale Price:$78.00 Original Price:$124.00

WILLIAM ADDISON DWIGGINS (1880-1956) was the most influential graphic designer of the early twentieth century. A master calligrapher and lettering artist, he was also one of the best type designers and typographers of his generation, a prolific and influential book designer and illustrator, an accomplished private press printer, a pioneer of advertising and editorial design, a noted author of both fiction and nonfiction, and a marionettist whose contributions to that field are still revered today.This groundbreaking monograph provides the first full account of Dwiggins's remarkably creative spirit, invention, and wit. Over 1,200 illustrations -- all photographed with raking light and printed using stochastic screening for pop-off-the-page immediacy -- provide a vivid overview of his career, revealing Dwiggins's phenomenal range and originality.
