1940s & 50s - A MONOGRAPHIC STUDY OF BEAN DISEASES AND METHODS FOR THEIR CONTROL

Authors: Zaumeyer, W.J., Thomas, H.R.

Publisher: Washington, DC (USA), United States Department of Agriculture

 

This technical bulletin of the US Department of Agriculture assembles as much of the pertinent information as possible on bean diseases that was not generally well known or had appeared only in obscure journals and in languages other than English.

 

Although a technical publication, the cover has a soft drawing design of a bean with the leaf embracing the title. The subtle elegance of the drawing grid and functional restraint allows the picture to have a dominant space without unbalancing the page. It is a clear example of 1950s functional design in book covers.
