AlbakiReads Editorial A full-career study of a twentieth-century designer
A full-career study of a twentieth-century designer
James King surveys Edward McKnight Kauffer’s working life across the first half of the twentieth century, placing the designer’s well-known poster work alongside his contributions to publishing, interiors, and theatre. The book traces a practice that extended from book jackets and illustration to carpets, textiles, costume, and set design, framing Kauffer as a figure whose work moved between commercial art and multiple design disciplines. By treating these areas together, the study offers a broader account of his career in both England and the United States rather than isolating him as a poster artist alone.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in twentieth-century graphic design and poster history
- Students and researchers of book design, illustration, and commercial art
- Those interested in theatre design, textiles, and interdisciplinary design practice

American-born Edward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954)-known as the 'Poster King'- is recognized as one of the most important designers to have worked in England and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. This book, which critically surveys Kauffer's entire career, deals with his acclaimed posters but also emphasizes other aspects of his career as a designer: book jackets, book illustrations, carpets, textiles, and theatre costumes and sets. An Artist in Design is the first detailed study of Kauffer's complete working life and provides a thorough and balanced assessment of its significance.
