EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Trade signs: Booksellers and Publishers" showcases a lithograph created by an English School artist in the 20th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally featured as an illustration for Cecil A Meadows' book "Trade Signs and their Origin" published by Routledge and Kegan Paul in 1957. The artwork depicts various trade signs associated with booksellers and publishers throughout history. Among the symbols depicted are a bible, dove, bird, animal, snake, reptile - all representing different aspects of intellectual property and visual identifiers. These trademarks were used by renowned publishing houses such as Hutchinson, Nelson, Collins, Sceptre Harrap Michael Joseph Cassell Heinemann Batsford Rose Crown Three Bibles Apollos Head. The composition is rich with historical significance as it delves into the origins of these iconic logos that have become synonymous with the world of literature. From ink bottles to batsford roses to crowns adorned with three bibles or apollo's head; each symbol holds its own unique meaning within this visual tapestry. Notably present are biblical references like doves representing peace or sea birds symbolizing freedom. Wildlife animals also make appearances alongside snakes and reptiles - alluding to ancient wisdom or perhaps cautionary tales from literature's vast realm. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of trade signage within the publishing industry while celebrating its rich heritage through artistry and symbolism.
