Plomer is an art and history book written in the early 20th century. The work explores the evolution and significance of ornamental designs used in English printed books from the 15th to the 19th century. It delves into various types of printers' ornaments such as borders, headpieces, and initial letters, celebrating their artistic value and historical context.  The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on printers' ornaments, beginning with a preface that clarifies the distinction between decoration and illustration in book design. Plomer outlines his intention to provide a historical overview, beginning with the origins of ornamental design in the early days of printing up through its development into a recognized art form in later centuries. He also acknowledges contributions from various printers over time and hints at the artistic challenges they faced while striving to produce visually appealing and functional text layouts.
