John Buckland Wright, 1935, Beauty's Anadems (engraved woodblock)
I think I found this at the University of Florida library

Recently featured his works for Poe



Christoph Jamnitzer, Zwei Manne aus dem, Neuw Grottebken Buch, 1610

Sorry for the bad quality here. If I remember correctly I scanned a thumbnail from a German caricature book. Giornale Nuovo covered this material in 2005.



Champalal, 1915, Sanjhi or Phul Mandali viewing

Two images from the book The Artists of Nathadwara. (Nothing else in the book looks quite like these, unfortunately.)


Champalal, 1915 (Dan, Lila manorath)




Herbert Bayer, cover for Dec.39-Jan.40 issue of PM magazine

see also Seven Convolutions



Alex Steinweiss for AD magazine, 1941

Jacob McMurray turned me on to Steinweiss's amazing album covers. I found this in a book on modern American graphic design.



CA, The Journal of Commercial Art, August 1959, issue 1, cover by Freeman Craw

also see this nice flickr set of CA covers from fast-times




Polish Writing Today (Penguin paperback 2752), cover by John Sewell, 1967

By request of a LibraryThing friend who said the Penguin Paperback Spotters' Guild needed this cover to (nearly) complete its collection. Sewell did a lot of covers for Calder (including this Walser cover). The back cover is interesting (hilarious) for Penguin's plea for people to read translations.



Lewis Heriz, Vegan Robot (made for Beat Mag)

Thanks Lewis!



Max Walter Svanberg, The String of Pearls of the Imaginative Conversation, 1953 (watercolor and pastel on paper)




Oscar Dominguez, Nostalgia for Space, 1939




Plan du port du Carenage ou petit cul de sac de l'Isle Se. Lucie




Homer Boss, illus. for Heaven Folk by Waldemar Bonsels, 1924

An odd book I recently picked up and know nothing about yet. This the frontispiece, one of four color plates. The caption reads: "They saw a tiny, tiny mortal standing pale and speechless."



John Roddam Spencer Stanhope - The vision of Ezekiel - Valley of the Dry Bones

Compliments of frequent AJRMS contributor Richard Sica



Jose Clemete Orozco, Cristo Destruye Su Cruz (Christ Destroying His Cross), 1932-34, mural, Dartmouth College

I found the handful of Latin American works featured in this post in the giant book Latin American Art.

One of my favorite posts is Wandering from Organ to Organ with Hermann Finsterlin. Read those quotes!
