History of Graphic Design, Vol. 1: 1890–1959 traces the development of graphic design from the late nineteenth century through the mid‑twentieth, moving across posters, type, branding, and editorial work. Jens Müller organizes the material chronologically and geographically, pairing key images with concise commentary on movements, studios, and technologies. The result is a dense but readable visual history that shows how design responded to industrialization, war, and new media.

WHY WE PICKED IT
