Given the strength and novelty of the illustrations, the design is intended to equally integrate text and paintings. The chapter-opening details convey the richness of the paintings, and allow the reader to have a fresh experience with the first major study in a generation of the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. 336 pages, 8 1/2 x 11, 39 color plates, 43 halftones. Typefaces: Scala Sans by Martin Majoor and Vendetta by John Downer.
