A ground-breaking study of one of America’s leading designers of nineteenth-century publishers’ book-bindings, published to accompany the eponymous exhibition held at the Grolier Club January 23-March 7, 2008.
A biography of Morse by Grolier Club member Mindell Dubansky and two thoughtful essays on her work and influence by scholars in the field of nineteenth-century decorative arts is followed by a comprehensive—and lavishly illustrated—survey of all the known works by the designer, drawn from the personal collection of Mindell Dubansky, and from the resources of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Designed by Jerry Kelly, and printed in an edition of 1100 copies.
