Unsigned design attributed to Lee Thayer of the Decorative Designers. Bound in dark blue cloth with a stunning full cover design of a breaking wave. Stamped in two shades of gilt - a lighter and darker shade, creating swirling, rising, cresting energy. Title to spine.
Design is highly influenced by Japanese woodcuts, notably "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" created in the 1820's by Hokusai, a Japanese artist of the Edo period.
