NOTES ON POSTAGE STAMPS, WITH A SERIES OF PREPARATORY DRAWINGS
Gill, Eric
First edition. This book features a previously unpublished essay by Eric Gill with eight of his unpublished drawings for postage stamps. A brief afterword by Michael Russem recounts Gill's troubled career as a designer of stamps and is illustrated with a handrul of Gill's rarely seen rejected designs. Notes on Postage Stamps features Gill's characteristic zingers as applied to stamps, design, ornamentation, and reproduction-some of which are a little too idealistic and some of which are spot-on. All of them are interesting and thought-provoking.
