The Curwen Press, founded in 1863 east London, was a leader of early 20th Century British printing design and worked with many well-known graphic artists including Thomas Lowinsky, Enid Marx, Paul Nash and Diana Wilbraham, whose pattern paper designs are represented in this book. The 32 tipped-in plates are accompanied by biographies of the artists on the verso, and printed at Whittington Court on Zerkall mould-made & Colorplan Papers with reprinted pattern papers reprinted at the Senecio Press.
