Description: This is a lot of eight vintage books on art and design are used for work in graphic design, marketing, woodworking, advertising, and so much more! Both instructional and beautiful, this lot of seven books includes the following: 1.) Making Wood Signs by Patrick Spielman (1986) 2.) Of the Just Shaping of Letters by Albrecht Durer (1965) 3.) Wood Type Alphabets: 100 Fonts edited by Rob Roy Kelly (1977) 4.) Roman Capitals Stroke by Stroke: An Arthur Baker Calligraphy Manual by Arthur Baker (1984) 5.) Alphabets and Ornaments by Ernest Lehner (1968) 6.) Arthur Baker’s Historic Calligraphic Alphabets by Arthur Baker (1980) 7.) Victorian Stencils for Design and Decoration selected by Edmund V. Gillian, Jr. (1968) 8.) The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker Directory by Thomas Chippendale These beautiful books each specialize in a specific realm of the art and design world. There are books on Calligraphy and Fonts, which showcase the beauty of language and the many ways to make a statement in advertising and branding. Some focus on handwritten lettering and offer a wide variety of copyright-free fonts for artists and advertisers to use if they’d like. One of the books gives 100 fonts for wooden signs specifically, although they could easily be used in other mediums as well. Another book gives instructions, tips, and tricks in designing and creating wooden signs specifically, etc., etc. Whether using graphic design digitally to make signage, or carving signs physically out of wood, practicing calligraphy, or using the stencils in artwork and design, the ways to use the Alphabet and Ornaments, Victorian Stencils, Illustrative Designs and Decorations available in this collection of books is almost infinite! Each volume includes hundreds of artistic designs, alphabets, and themes for artistic design, advertising, calligraphy, woodworking, and marketing purposes. All seven of these inspirational books are profusely illustrated (Alphabets and Ornaments alone have over 750 illustrations)! While the condition naturally varies slightly from book to book, the overall condition is Very Good. They are pre-owned and show some typical light wear from use. They have been well cared for, as they were once the beloved tools of an expert cabinet maker. Some may have the previous owner’s name written on the first blank page or inside the front cover. While I do my best to document any flaw or irregularity, please review the photographs, as the books shown are the same copies that you can expect to receive upon purchase.
