What Makes It Uncommon

Bibliophile's Delight

Mister Arthurious's prints of first edition book covers powerfully evoke the stories the writers wrote--and also the stories behind the books. The 1877 publication of Anna Sewell's Black Beauty quickly inspired anti-cruelty legislation in both England and the US. First published anonymously in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was the result of a challenge to write the best ghost story between herself, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron. The Picture of Dorian Gray was first published in 1890, in a magazine whose editor, worried it was indecent, cut about five hundred words from it without informing its author, Oscar Wilde. The high-quality, shadow-boxed photo prints look amazingly crisp and real, because each book has been carefully photographed to retain original marks and wear and then remastered to highlight every detail of the cover design. Made in New York City.

Designer/photographer Mister Arthurious is an avid explorer, wandering around towns and neighborhoods with a camera on his neck to capture local culture. He was educated in Europe, majoring in art history and photography, and loves to travel the globe. Fascinated with the history of graphic design, he combs through flea markets and private collections hunting for vintage design ephemera magazines, books, catalogs, trade cards, antique maps, matchboxes, postcards and more. He collects and catalogs them in his New York City studio. Through his archives, Arthurious is able to draw inspiration from creative minds and techniques of times past. He makes high-resolution prints of some of his finds, and is working on a series of design publications that document his work.
