About This Book
"Thomas Watson Ball was a Modernist book cover designer during the period 1897-1905. He was an innovator in abstract landscapes, such as the 1899 cover to the right. Until his portfolio of covers was discovered in the 1980s his work was unknown to scholars of binding design. He worked in a wide variety of styles and most of his covers are unsigned. The catalog identifies several genres of his work, including decorative symmetrical and floral covers, nautical, landscape, pictorial silhouette and cameos."--www.minsky.com.
