The Curwen Press, founded in London in 1863, was a leader of early twentieth century British design. It worked with many well-known graphic artists, including Thomas Lowinsky, Enid Marx, Paul Nash, and Diana Wilbraham, whose patterned paper designs are represented in this book. The book features thirty-two tipped-in pattern papers with accompanying artists’ biographies. This edition is quarter-bound in buckram and a Curwen paper, designed by Claude Lovat Fraser.
