Morris Book Design
"A brief look at the
work of Talwin Morris with publishing houses around the turn of the century."
This project is centered around works held by the University of Glasgow
Library Special Collection. This site contains: a brief biography; a look at
the publishing house Blackie and Sons; an explanation of how books are bound
and decorated; a brief examination of the Glasgow Four; and a short appraisal
of the main stylistic trends which influenced Morris' book design, that of
Japonism, The Glasgow Style, Symbolism and Art Nouveau. A student project
completed in 2001 by Louise Fletcher in completion of the Multimedia Course in
the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute at the University
of Glasgow. While the background material is extremely useful, none of the
examples provided show citation evidence that they were in fact designed by
Talwin Morris and seem to be included at the discretion of the site's author.
