Object History :

“This book is heavily illustrated and photographed and could easily be on many collector’s top ten list. Duke Wellington worked in some of the finest poster and card shops of the time and many of the projects in the book have a strong movie theme. While there are several color plates, the majority of the book consists of black and white photos of his cards and numerous pages of Deco style images and layouts. As the name implies, the book is also devoted to the theory and practice of making poster art, alomg with nuts and bolts technologies. The book was reprinted by Signs of the Times in 1986.” -from signmuseum.com via The Wayback Machine
