EVER YRS | NANCE VAN WINCKEL | JACKSONVILLE, FL: TWISTED ROAD PUBLICATIONS | 2014 | 1ST EDITION
This book may not fit the classic idea of “beautiful;” rather it is in a category all its own. The cover of this book features matte browns, reds, yellows, greens, and black as well as images that suggest the content of the book, while combining antique and creepy themes. The complex method of catching the reader’s eye without them realizing it, has the typical amount of attention to detail on paperbacks of modern times. These methods include a strong focal point (the girls in the foreground) by framing with text, background patterns, and picture frames.
The entirety of the text itself is composed of ink jet facsimiles of a reputed scrapbook faithfully reproduced down to the aged tape holding the documents to the page. Basically the text of this book is a modern digital recreation of a mid-20th century memory book. The heavy use of imagery certainly appeals to the visual interest in the viewer’s mind.
Ever Yrs was donated by Drs. Jim and Tamara Wilson in October of 2016.
