The Subtle Sense
Will Ransom, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
One of the most charming and unusual title pages of the year prefaces this small book in which harmony of color, type and decoration is keynote. The jury wishes that the designer had not chosen to set the right-hand running heads in letter-spaced italic lower case, but the happy effect of the whole outweighs this personal idiosyncrasy.
