| 520 | |a "'Illustrated law books' may seem like an oxymoron. After all, law is conceptual, analytic, and so very wordy! Yet for the past decade, over a thousand illustrated law books have been assembled in the Yale Law Library -- spanning eight centuries and four continents. Law's Picture Books began as a major exhibition of that collection at the Grolier Club (9/13 to 11/18/17) in New York City, curated by Rare Book Librarian Michael Widener and legal historian Mark S. Weiner. In challenging the stereotype of legal literature as a dreary expanse of dry text, this book will surprise and delight both bibliophiles and members of the legal community. This handsome full-color book is enhanced by the essays 'Collecting Yale Law Library's Picture Books,' (Michael Widener), 'Reflections on an Exhibition,' (Mark S. Weiner), 'Ars Memoria in Early Law: Looking Beneath the Picture,' (Jolande E. Goldberg, Law Library of Congress), and 'Law's Picture Books and the History of Book Illustration,' (Erin C. Blake, Folger Shakespeare Library)." |c --publisher's description | ||
