This is the thirty-seventh item in the series of keepsakes of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. The Brothers Johnson not only printed the book, but James Sydney Johnson wrote it. It is a fine specimen of bookmaking. Printed in an edition of seven hundred copies by the Brothers Johnson, with presswork by Lawton Kennedy and the binding by Ralph Liddy. The original wood-engraving, "Christus", is the work of Howard Simon, an Institute exhibitor. Also appreciation is extended to Worthy Paper Company Association. sustaining member of the Institute, in furnishing Aurelian paper for this book. Howard Simon (1902-1979) was a notable American illustrator, painter, and printmaker who is known for his woodcuts. Simon provided illustrations for several dozen books, and his work is displayed in numerous museums. Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), created over 150 works of art, from exquisitely carved cameos to heroic-size public monuments. Works such as the "Standing Lincoln" monument and the Shaw Memorial, continue to inspire people today and his design for the 1907 Twenty Dollar Gold Piece, is considered America's most beautiful coin. Over 100 works of the sculptor are exhibited in the galleries and on the grounds at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park. In 1911, Frederic Goudy, Alfred Stieglitz, and W. A. Dwiggins came together to discuss the creation of an organization that was committed to individuals passionate about communication design. In 1913, president of the National Arts Club, John G. Agar, announced the formation of The American Institute of Graphic Arts during the eighth annual exhibition of "The Books of the Year." The National Arts Club was instrumental in the formation of AIGA in that they helped to form the committee to plan to organize the organization. The committee formed included Charles DeKay and William B. Howland and officially formed the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1914. Howland, publisher and editor of The Outlook, was elected president. The goal of the group was to promote excellence in the graphic design profession through its network of local chapters throughout the country. In 1920, AIGA began awarding medals to "individuals who have set standards of excellence over a lifetime of work or have made individual contributions to innovation within the practice of design." Winners have been recognized for design, teaching, writing or leadership of the profession and may honor individuals posthumously.

Clothbound. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: no dj, as issued. FIRST EDITION LIMITED TO 200. San Francisco, The Windsor Press, 1934. 8.75" x 6.25" (16x22cm). Title printed red with vignette in three colors, each of the nine chapters has the title printed in red, Illustrated with 9 head-piece vignettes printed in 8 dif…ferent colors. Original black cloth with decorative paper cover label. Scarce copy and in FINE condition Constructivist influenced and beautifully produced. In contrast with the view put forward by Samuel Butler in 'Erewhon', the Johnsons contend that 'reality imposes on us an obligation to nurture and defend the machine from all assaults against its development and ultimate triumph' (limitation leaf). The Windsor Press was established in San Francisco in 1926 by the Australian brothers, Cecil and James Sydney Johnson (b. Sydney, Australia in 1897). The brothers often prepared the illustrations for their own publications. "The credo of the Johnson brothers in establishing the Windsor Press rings true and the books bear witness to a faithful endeavor "to print the beautiful book, to create the symphony in type, to handle the tools of his calling with that divine grace reserved only for the lover of his craft; and to find inspiration and guidance and an abiding reverence in these monuments of the old masters. A new love, a new life--this is the soul of the new Renaissance." It is a high note, one that will require time as well as aspiration to reach full volume and clarity, yet there is every indication that time is the only missing ingredient. There is fundamental soundness in their books, and painstaking attention to those infinite details that are apparent more in the elusive, intangible atmosphere of a volume than in their own entities.' from: Will Ransom "Private Presses and Their Books". Cecil and James Sydney Johnson (illustrator).
