en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2023
The year 2023 sees the 150th anniversary of the death of William Harry Rogers. Rogers was one of the fi nest artist-designers of the Victorian period in Britain, someone to be considered in the same company as Pugin, William Burges, Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser. His designs won several prize medals at the Great Exhibition of 1851, the event which provides a ubiquitous reference point for cultural histories of the nineteenth century. He subsequently specialised in designing the appearances of books and his work in this fi eld in the 1850s and 1860s was unrivalled, with many of his designs appearing also in the USA. The present book is the fi rst to be devoted to Rogers and aims to be defi nitive, containing comprehensive accounts of his work and his life in Soho and the then village of Wimbledon. It includes many new discoveries, and hundreds of colour illustrations.
