This week I’ve selected a beautiful vintage book from the later Art Nouveau period. The book is titled In Arcady. The book is by Hamilton Wright Mabie and illustrated by Will H. Lowe and Charles L. Hinton. The book was published by Dodd Mead and Co. of New York in 1903. Because the book is profusely illustrated, I’m only going to show the first pages in the book.
Except for the just a few pages in the beginning and end of the book, each page has a detailed a sepia-tone illustration. The page above is from the reverse side of a list of works by Hamilton W. Mabie.
Above is the title page for the book.
Above is the copyright page for the book.
Just to show you what each page of the story looks like, I’ve scanned the image of the beginning of the story.
All of the images have been scanned in at 300 dpi. They have been uploaded to my flick page and attributed to Creative Commons. The book was published prior to 1923 and should be in the public domain. The images should be copyright free. You can download the illustations by clicking on the images. Clicking will send you to flickr where you can chose a size to download.
