The Crown Jewel of Comics. The DC universe as never seen before

In 1935, DC Comics founder Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson published New Fun No. 1 — the first comic book with all-new original material — at a time when comic books were mere repositories for the castoffs of the newspaper strips. What was initially considered to be disposable media for children was well on its way to becoming the mythology of our time — the 20th century’s answer to Atlas or Zorro.

More than 40,000 comic books later, TASCHEN has produced the single most comprehensive book on DC Comics. More than 2,000 images — covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles — are reproduced using the latest technology to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life as they’ve never been seen before. Telling the tales behind the tomes is 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, whose in-depth essays trace the company’s history, from its pulp origins through to the future of digital publishing, alongside year-by-year timelines and biographies of DC legends.

The original XL edition of 75 Years of DC Comics was winner of the 2011 Eisner Comic Industry Award for Best Comics-Related Book of the Year. This new edition brings you all the same DC glory in a more compact format.

Middle Eastern literature and poetry, including Arabian Nights and Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, has captured the imaginations of European people with its mysterious atmosphere and tales of exotic lands. 

From the 18th to the early 20th century, various European editions of these stories were published that included imaginative illustrations by notable European illustrators such as Kai Nielsen, Edmund Dulac, and others. (mostly Japanese text, some English as supplementary) 

This book is a visual art collection of the world featured in such European illustrations and introduces the ancient Islamic manuscripts and art on which the illustrations are based. Islamic book design, ornaments, and costumes of the time are also featured, giving readers a broad sense of the Islamic culture that has so inspired European artists. 

This collection offers a unique introduction to the beauty of Islamic art and culture and is sure to become a treasured book for Islamic art lovers, too.

Бордюры типографского дизайна, представленные в этой книге, относятся к концу 19 - началу 20 века.

"Каждый художник, основываясь на своем внутреннем чувстве прекрасного, представляет в своем воображении и создает коллекции орнаментов, фризов и виньеток, благодаря которым типография близка к ее традиционной чистоте и элегантности..."

Наряду с распространением и развитием рекламы, в типографском дизайне появились новые орнаменты и фризы, которые стали использоваться для украшения афиш, меню, визитных карточек, театральных программ, иногда книг.

Продолжить эту традицию поможет эта книга, в которой вы найдете множество фризов, которые могут вдохновить вас на новый дизайн.

Все иллюстрации в этой книге представлены на компакт-диске, которые могут использоваться как на PC, так и на Мас компьютерах. Изображения сохранены в файлах формата TIFF высокого разрешения.
