Beauty for Commerce


The lavish online exhibition Beauty for Commerce compiles publishers’ bindings from 1830 to 1910. It's easy and pleasant to navigate, and offers high-quality enlargements. A very nice way to spend the afternoon, especially if you're supposed to be working!

When you're done with that, have a look at the incredible archaeological photographs of Alfred Percival Maudslay:


You may also want to look at Unregulated Printing, Queensland's Built Heritage, John Ormsbee Simonds Remembered, and Character and Caricature 1608 to 1931.
