The year 2023 sees the 150th anniversary of the death of William Harry Rogers. Rogers was one of the finest artist-designers of the Victorian period in Britain, someone to be considered in the same company as Pugin, William Burges, Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser. His designs won several prize medals at the Great Exhibition of 1851, the event which provides a ubiquitous reference point for cultural histories of the nineteenth century. He subsequently specialised in designing the appearances of books and his work in this field in the 1850s and 1860s was unrivalled, with many of his designs appearing also in the USA. The present book is the first to be devoted to Rogers and aims to be definitive, containing comprehensive accounts of his work and his life in Soho and the then village of Wimbledon. It includes many new discoveries, and hundreds of colour illustrations.
Gregory Jones is an emeritus professor at the University of Warwick whose career has embraced also the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Bristol. In recent years he has turned to studying the role of the nineteenth-century artist-designer. He has researched many aspects of the Victorian book, including design, illustration, publishing and copyright, writing about these topics in journals such as The Library and The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America.
