Westvaco, a printing concern, produced a collection of books/journals, meant as inspiration for designers, printers circa 1952. Largely designed by Bradbury Thompson, they're a riot of invention, visual wit, and sophisticated cultural and art historical references. A wonderful summation of late cubism merging with the Swiss school , one which as well, predicted contemporary design 35 years early.
