The Coffee-Table Book in the Post-War Anglophone World Hardback
by Christine Elliott
Part of the New Directions in Book History series
Hardback
Description
The Coffee-Table Book in the Post-War Anglophone World argues that coffee-table books appeared and became popular in the post-war era at the convergence of three important developments: advances in full colour printing technology, social change, and publishing entrepreneurism and innovation.
Examining the coffee-table book through a book history lens acknowledges their significant contribution to post-war visual culture and illustrated publishing.
Focussing on post-war America, Great Britain, and Australia during the “golden age” era of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, this history of the coffee-table book takes an interdisciplinary approach to put the coffee-table book in context in regards to materiality, format, printing, status, and genre.
