Description

The History of Graphic Design. Vol. 1. 1890–1959 – A Visual Chronicle of Modern Design

This impressive volume takes you on a compelling journey through nearly seven decades of graphic design — from the early poster era at the turn of the 19th century to the post-war economic boom. It reveals how visual communication, advertising, editorial and corporate design evolved over time. Featuring more than 2,500 important works from around the globe, detailed portraits of key designers, and decade-by-decade timelines, it renders graphic design as a mirror of social, political, and technological change.

The book merges an extensive visual archive with thoughtful analysis: spotlighting milestones from poster art through book and magazine design to packaging, branding, and advertising. Styles such as Art Nouveau, Art Déco, Constructivism, and early Modernism are illustrated vividly — framed by historical context and insightful commentary. Especially rewarding is the exploration of iconic works and designers whose influence continues to shape visual culture today.
