Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This unique history brings together more than 150 spectacular objects from the National Art Library's collection of literature, prints, drawings and photographs. Housed within the V&A, the library was, from the beginning, an integral part of the Museum, formed by, and for, artists and designers as an essential element of the educational and museological project of Prince Albert and Henry Cole after the Great Exhibition of 1851. Word & Image shows how the distinct character of the NAL was formed, and how its collections created a new kind of bibliographical resource. From a fifteenth-century book of hours to William Morris's specimen pages for Jean Froissart's The Chronicles of Fraunce, Inglande, and Other Places Adjoynynge; from George Cruikshank's studies of Fagin for Oliver Twist to an Yves Saint Laurent design for the House of Dior; and from Bill Brandt's photographs to the Book of Nails by Floating Concrete Octopus, Word & Image explores some of the finest examples of 'book art' in existence. This unique history brings together more than 150 spectacular objects from the National Art Library's collection of literature, prints, drawings and photographs.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. World & Images se adentra en la historia y la influencia de la National Art Library ubicada en el Victoria and Albert Museum. Fue un elemento esencial del proyecto educativo y museológico del Príncipe Alberto y Enrique Cole tras la Gran Exposición de 1851. La primera de las bibliotecas-museo, formadas en el siglo XIX por y para artistas, diseñadores y artesanos; y de la que se beneficiaron ellos mismos y más tarde todo el público. Desde un libro de horas del siglo XV a los bocetos de William Morris para las Crónicas de Francia y otros lugares de Jean Froissartt, así como los estudios de George Cruiskshank sobre Fangin para Oliver Twist, las caricaturas antifranquistas de Picasso o las fotografías de Bill Brandts, Word & Images reúne más de 150 objetos de entre las colecciones que la NAL guarda: literatura, grabados, dibujos, fotografía o diseño que han contribuido a definir y redefinir el ámbito de la historia del arte, de las bellas artes y las artes decorativas para las generaciones futuras.
