review:
'Will Bradley's Graphic Art: New Edition' by Will Bradley and edited by Clarence P. Hornung is a collection of typefaces and posters from the late 19th Century.

Will Bradley was experimenting with creative design for the business world before many were. When others were producing books with plain covers, he was introducing different weights of paper and creating intricate designs for covers. Included are over 100 examples of posters, magazine covers, designs, and printed characters. Also included is Bradley's own autobiography which is pretty easy to read, even by modern readers.

I had a good time poring through these designs. There is an intricacy to Bradley's work that is in his early as well as his Art Nouveau designs.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
