Commercial Art Annual
Frank Mercer and W. Gaunt [Editors]
London and New York: The Studio Ltd. and The Studio Publications, Inc., 1936.Original edition. Slim quarto. Red cloth decorated in white. 128 [xii] pp. 8 color plates, otherwise fully illustrated in two-color and black and white. Former owners signature to front pastedown, otherwise interior unmarked and clean. Out-of-print. Red cloth uniformly rubbed. A very good copy.
8.375 x 11.5-inch hardcover book with 140 pages and 12 color plates, otherwise fully illustrated in black and white. Modern Publicity still contains traces of more traditional early-twentieth century design. However, the Modern Art Deco influence prevails not only in the book’s overall style and content, but in its vintage trade advertisements. Beautiful.
