Preface and introductory essay by Robert Dance, followed by a complete "Bibliography of the Book Illustrations of Lynd Ward." Includes bibliography and index. Published to accompany the exhibition "Illustrated by Lynd Ward, From the Collection of Robert Dance," on view at the Grolier Club November 19 2015-January 16 2016. "Considering the fame Lynd Ward achieved during the 1930s and his role as a book illustrator for five decades, it is surprising that a comprehensive study of his life and career has not appeared. This book does not promise to be either. Rather it is an introduction to his position as one of America's foremost book illustrators and the first attempt to compile a checklist of his published work." - Preface.
