The Italian Design Issue

Lawrence Audrain and Leo Lionni (Editors): PRINT: AMERICA'S GRAPHIC DESIGN MAGAZINE. NYC: Volume 10, Number 2, April-May 1956. A very good original magazine with mild age-toning tothe ivory cover and wear to the top and bottom of the spine. Interior unmarked and very clean. Cover by Leo Lionni.

8.5 x 11 perfect-bound magazine with 80 pages of editorial content and advertising. Print was devoted to showcasing the best in American Graphic Design, circa 1956. For this goal, the Publishers used a wide variety of paper stocks and printing styles for each issue. Print also had the radical idea of having a Guest Art Director design each issue, thus insuirng the magazines' fresh look. Print from the mid-to-late 1950s remind me of Herbert Spencer's Typographica, but without the cultural pretensions of the English magazine. Print was meat and potatoes compared to Spencer's elegant souffles.
