Hardcover. Octavo. Hardcover. Red paper boards in illustrated jacket. viii, 220 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. In this book, Ellen Mazur Thomson examines for the first time the early development of the graphic design profession. It has been thought that graphic design emerged as a profession only when European modernism arrived in America in the 1930s, yet Thomson shows that the practice of graphic design began much earlier. Shortly after the Civil War, when the mechanization of printing and reproduction technology transformed mass communication, new design practices emerged. Thomson investigates the development of these practices from 1870 to 1920, a time when designers came to recognize common interests and create for themselves a professional identity. What did the earliest designers do, and how did they learn to do it? What did they call themselves? How did they organize themselves and their work? Drawing on an array of original period documents, the author explores design activities in the printing, typefounding, advertising, and publishing industries. She considers the role of labor unions, advertising agencies, schools of art and design, and professional associations; the writings and ideas of Henry Lewis Johnson and William Addison Dwiggins; and the impact of the values of the Aesthetic Movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement.

"Throughout all the chapters in Aesthetic Tracts, whether focusing on particular book artists, or specific parts of book production, Ellen Mazur Thomson manages to pack in a lot of information about the book world in general during the nineteenth century." - Barbara Adams Hebard, Guild of Bookworkers Newsletter, June 2016 "Sumptuously illustrated, skillfully printed, and well documented." -- Jeffrey Mifflin, Printing History, Winter 2017 "Thompson describes this phenomenon in England, the United States and France; it is an account awash with quotations that reveal how varied and contradictory views of the subject were." -- Sebastian Carter, TLS "Thompson has managed to cover a vast amount of material in a fairly short space, and has done it gracefully and congenially. . Aesthetic Tracts is an interesting and thoughtful book." -- Crispin Elstead, Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada In the late nineteenth century, writers, artists, and bibliophiles expended great thought and energy on books as a category of things that might be made to express, by their very physical appearance, aesthetic ideals and personal visions. Books, like other artifacts produced in the then new industrial system, implicitly raised questions about their cultural status as objects and the role of aesthetics in designing them. Aesthetic Tracts takes its title from a phrase used in a lecture by Sarah Wyman Whitman, the prolific Boston book cover designer. In 1894 Whitman asserted that designers ought to accept the challenge posed by mass-produced cloth-covered books and transform them into physical manifestos. The present volume, drawing on examples from France, Great Britain, and the United States, shows how designers, ranging from poets like Gabriel Dante Rossetti and Stephane Mallarme, from artists like James McNeil Whistler and Eugene Grasset, and from binders like T.J. Cobden- Sanderson and Marius Michel, sought to craft book designs that were beautiful but also eloquent expressions of individual artistry. Although many bibliophiles decried the deterioration of book production and some joined the"revival of printing" movement, not all designers wished to create books as objects of material beauty. Printer-publishers Edouard Pelletan, Walter Biggar Blaikie, and Theodore Low De Vinne insisted instead on the preeminence of the text. Aesthetic Tracts shows how new theories of design, including the introduction of Japanese artistic principles, new printing technology, the emergence of the consumer society, the transformation in the publishing industry, and the influence of international expositions, worked to change the idea of the book at the fin de siecle.
