The Analysis of Beauty by William Hogarth, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1753, William Hogarth's treatise sets out the painter's theory of what makes things beautiful. At its heart is the serpentine "line of beauty," a gentle S-shaped curve that Hogarth believed gave life and grace to art and nature. Lively, opinionated and illustrated with his own engravings, it is a classic of art theory.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
