Emil Rudolf Weiss (1875–1942) was a painter, poet, illustrator, wood-engraver, graphic designer and calligrapher. He designed wallpapers, fabrics, furniture, stained-glass, company logos, ceramics and he painted murals. He designed books and magazines, ornaments to be cast in type metal and designed at least three major type faces and three sets of Weiss Initials.
The book includes the text of a talk Weiss gave in 1925 on ‘Artists & Book Artists, Past, Present and Future’ translated and published for the first time together with an essay he wrote in 1911 on ‘The Book as an Object’.
