EDITORS COMMENTS
Printers Pie: A Delightful Gathering of Creatives with Onoto Safety Pens In this charming illustration from the December 20, 1911, issue of Printers Pie, we find a group of the magazine's esteemed contributors gathered around, each engrossed in their copy. The tall figure on the left, with an impressive moustache, is none other than John Hassall, the talented artist behind the magazine's covers up to and throughout the First World War. Published by The Sphere and Tatler in aid of printers charities, Printers Pie and its sister publication, Winters Pie, offered a platform for the leading artists and humorous writers of the day to showcase their work. The magazine's pages were graced with the illustrations of luminaries such as William Heath Robinson, Lawson Wood, and Walter Emanuel. As they read and discuss the latest offerings from their fellow contributors, each of these creative minds holds an Onoto safety pen in hand. The Onoto safety pen, a symbol of elegance and reliability, was a popular choice among the literati of the time. Its sleek design and innovative safety mechanism ensured a smooth writing experience, making it the perfect companion for the dedicated reader or prolific writer. Printers Pie, with its charitable mission and impressive roster of contributors, was a testament to the power of creativity and community. The magazine's pages served as a source of inspiration and enjoyment for its readers, and the Onoto safety pen was there to capture their thoughts and ideas. A truly delightful partnership between art, literature, and practicality.
