About this book

A Catalogue of One Hundred Illustrated Books, 1472-1896 is a 1921 exhibition catalogue from the Grolier Club, the New York society of bibliophiles founded in 1884 and the foremost American club for the study of books and book arts. It documents a landmark show of finely illustrated volumes across four centuries of printing. Such Grolier Club catalogues are prized references for the history of the illustrated book.

About the author

Grolier Club

The Grolier Club is a society, not a person. Founded in New York in 1884 by nine men in the book trade and named after Jean Grolier, the sixteenth-century French treasurer whose bindings collectors still chase, it exists to study the book as an object: printing, binding, illustration, collecting.
