From the 1920s, as the potential for the book’s protective wrapping to be used for promotion and enticement became clear, artists and illustrators on both sides of the Atlantic applied their talents to this particular art form. Rising to the wide-ranging challenges posed by format and subject matter, leading artists and illustrators, including John Piper, Edward Bawden and John Minton in the UK and Ben Shahn, Edward Gorey and George Salter in the USA, brought their unique personal vision to bear on the world of books. Many of their designs reflect the changing visual styles and motifs of the period, including Bloomsbury, Art Deco, Modernism, postwar neo-romanticism and the Kitchen Sink School.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bill Bragg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220x310mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casebound book with dust jacket\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counter-Print","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158059139364,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1595\/5453\/files\/01_c590f1b7-c36a-4680-9f37-d09b9234209c.png?v=1695477341","url":"https:\/\/www.counter-print.co.uk\/products\/the-illustrated-dust-jacket-1920-1970-seconds","provider":"Counterprint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
