At the
moment when Advertising was becoming an industry as well as an activity,
this book neatly sums up the prevailing ways in whcih one, all-purpose
compound NAPOLIO, could be used for a variety of purposes. Page size is
16 x 21 cms. I suspect the authors might include E.V.Lucas. George Morrow
was a prolific illustrator but not quite so cutting and powerful as here.
The invention
is sustained,a nd the level of pictorial invention high. This screen shows
most of the book, and stresses the variations on the advertisements and
classified advertisements of the day. |
