Interview with Dave McKean
"Nitrate + Kinogeists" brings together Dave McKean's latest series "Nitrate", a collection of mixed media artworks inspired by early cinema and Century Guild's inventory of rare silent film posters. The catalog also features an exclusive interview with Dave McKean, where he discusses "Nitrate", his inspiration from silent film, and upcoming projects. It comes printed on a gorgeous (and recycled) demi-matte stock.

What Sets A Century Guild Book Apart?
Museum-grade imaging from original artworks
We photograph and scan artworks using museum-level equipment to capture details often missed in standard or even professional-grade reproductions, giving you the closest possible experience to seeing the art in person.
Previously unpublished research and rarely-seen material
In many cases, we've been able to identify newly attributed artists and present previously unpublished history.
LUXURIOUSLY CRAFTED
No cost is spared in producing books with exceptional quality, often involving custom-dyed covers, spot varnishing, and paper selection that push today's printing standards to their limits.
Direct from the ORIGINAL MATERIALS
Images are faithfully captured from the rare, original period artworks in the Century Guild collection, not from third-party sources.
