{"product_id":"images-13","title":"IMAGES #13","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A handsomely-selected tasteful mix of the best, well mounted, printed. It has my vote for its long life.\" That's how Alex Toth described the first issue. Here's Jim: \"I scour original source material--magazines and books--from before 1923 for the most beautiful and forgotten images by famous and forgotten illustrators. Using the best technology available today on museum quality stock...I try to give century-old art the benefit of modern reproduction technology and display these artists as they have never been seen before.\"\n\nThis is Jim's final issue. Aided by a successful Kickstarter program, it boasts \u003cstrong\u003e24 extra pages\u003c\/strong\u003e, metallic gold ink and spot varnish. In addition to the glorious cover, there are seven other rare \u003cstrong\u003eAlphonse Mucha\u003c\/strong\u003e drawings, seven paintings by \u003cstrong\u003eCharles E. Chambers\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cem\u003eThe Price of Love\u003c\/em\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eColes Phillips\u003c\/strong\u003e fade-away girl, \u003cstrong\u003eSarah S. Stilwell's\u003c\/strong\u003e illustrations for \u003cem\u003eThe Princess Porquois\u003c\/em\u003e, a \u003cstrong\u003eWilly Pogany\u003c\/strong\u003e Djer-Kiss ad, five fantastic \u003cstrong\u003eMaxfield Parrish\u003c\/strong\u003e pieces, \u003cstrong\u003eHermann Vogel, Phillip Goodwin, Georges De Feure, Norman Lindsay\u003c\/strong\u003e as the featured pen artist and much more by many other artists, both famous and nearly forgotten.\n\nHighlight of the issue is eight lithographic color plates by the French Art Nouveau artist, \u003cstrong\u003eLouis Chalon\u003c\/strong\u003e, each highlighted by an intricate, ornate and complex gilt ink. The book is specially designed with a special lay-flat binding to show all of these eight two-page spreads.\n\nThis issue also features a square binding and with the 24 pages, looks almost like two issues in one. A good number of illustrations are actually from the original artwork, including works by \u003cstrong\u003eFrank Leyendecker\u003c\/strong\u003e and Maxfield Parrish! The Mucha cover alone is a knockout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59639582097694,"sku":"IMA13","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_i_m_ima13.jpg?v=1784467842","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/images-13","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
