Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo – Wren’s City Churches Cover (1883)

“Mackmurdo was concerned with the conservation of historic buildings and had helped to found the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877. In 1883 he gave a lecture arguing in favor of the preservation of a number of churches by 17th-century English architect Sir Christopher Wren. Mackmurdo then published the lecture in a small campaign book titled Wren’s City Churches. For the book cover, he created a bold black and white woodblock print featuring organic tendril forms in a whiplash motif with three stylized flower heads, very similar to the famous chair back he designed around the same time. This design was a key influence on the later graphic designs of Aubrey Beardsley, particularly his illustrations for Salome (1893), which are seen as seminal in the early development of Art Nouveau.”
