This firm was unique in that it employed a number of designers, and each was responsible for certain aspects of a design—an early example of division of labor in creative work. The founder of the firm was Henry Thayer (1867–1940) who was trained as an architect (following the example of Stanford White, architect-book cover designer). Thayer was responsible for much of the lettering produced by the firm, and Emma Redington Lee Thayer (1874–1973), another important woman designer, executed the beautiful decorative borders and designs. copy 1 Lowthorpe Collection (cover repaired). copy 2 cover in good condition.
