The Year's art
The Year's Art, published in London by Macmillan and Co. in 1880, is an annual survey of the art world, written for collectors, critics and the general art-reading public. Its pictures are a financial table of art school grants and costs, a decorative trade label for picture frame makers Dolman and Son with botanical borders, and a bold condensed N.B. letterform; a designer could take the boxed ruled tabular layout, the ornate engraved label typography, and the heavy sans-serif capitals.
