American-born Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954)—known as the ‘Poster King’— is recognized as one of the most important designers to have worked in England and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. This book, which critically surveys Kauffer’s entire career, deals with his acclaimed posters but also emphasizes other aspects of his career as a designer: book jackets, book illustrations, carpets, textiles, and theatre costumes and sets. An Artist in Design is the first detailed study of Kauffer’s complete working life and provides a thorough and balanced assessment of its significance.
