Product Description
Unpaginated, four issues bound in one.
Black spine over marbled boards, gilt titles on spine.
Spine straight, wear to corners, binding secure.

There is damp staining to the upper margins of about half the pages, but the art and copy still present cleanly and well.
In ink on front of first issue, someone has written, "This copy belongs to Berman" in a stylized hand.
Includes article on the book plates and marks of Rockwell Kent, an article on "Architecture as a Source in Modern Design," featuring work by Erich Mendelsohn and Ely Jacques Kahn, and a lengthy look at The Bolshevik Billboard, which includes Soviet posters of the era.
Kent also contributed an article entitled, "Art Differs from Literature in This.
" Includes a photo plate by Richard T.
Dooner that he appears to have signed in pencil in the margin.
Numerous vivid color ads for the Jean Berte Color Process, and Pierce-Arrow cars.
Advertising Arts was a quarterly supplement to Advertising & Selling.
The publication displayed examples of everything from products to advertisements to typography and graphic design.
It serves in this case as a remarkable visual record of the period, from a typography, design and in many cases, interior decor angle.
Work by everyone from Edward Steichen to Miguel Covarubbias (a full color, full page plate), to Kent, Lyle Justis, E.
McKnight Kauffer, and on and on, appears as part of these issues.
They're uncommon individually and even less so as part of a full year's run.
