Cloth binding for ‘The Pageant’
Charles Ricketts
1897
Cloth binding with gilt overlays
10¼ x 7¾ inches
A simple pattern which encapsulates the magazine's elegant combination of art and literary reviews. Only two volumes were issued, in each case including a dust-wrapper, also by Ricketts but different from the cloth design shown here.
