SUMMARY:
In 1901 the well known London based publishing house Adam & Charles Black started to publish the beautifully illustrated Twenty Shilling Series. These books were devoted to different places around the world. They all had decorative boards, sometimes even with a pictorial design and mostly with gilt lettering and with top edge gilt.
What made these books really special were the numerous plates (up to 100 per volume), printed in the newly invented three color technique. Most of these plates were reproductions of beautiful watercolors and they were "tissue guarded" which refers to a blank protection sheet for every plate.
Robert George Talbot Kelly (1861–1934) was an English orientalist landscape and genre painter, author and illustrator.
