His work consistently emphasized the history of design, repeatedly employing ornaments and patterns across numerous book illustrations and hundreds of cover designs. He was also a pioneer in the study and collection of bookplates, co-founding an Ex-Libris Society and publishing their journal, the Book-Plate Annual.
