About This Item

Richard Pennington, 2010. Softcover. VG. White illustrated wraps with black lettering, 240 pp., mostly color illustrations. "This book tells the story of a striking achievement in the last quarter of the 19th century by the largely forgotten Low Art Tile Company. The author first envisioned a picture book showcasing the Low tiles, but as he researched his subject he was struck by the drama of Low's adventure and the fascinating personalities of his acquaintance. The words of the writers of the era are often used in the narrative, and contemporary photographs provide a visual history of a time when artistic expression reached a new zenith. The Low Art Tile Company pioneered the use of quality photgraphy to market its products, and this book has the complete contents of its tile, soda fountain, and 'plastic sketches' catalogues." - blurb from back of book.
