EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of the Printers Pie magazine, published in December 1907, showcases the creative genius of renowned British graphic artist, John Hassall. The design, published by The Sphere and Tatler in aid of the Printers Pension, Almshouse and Orphan Asylum Corporation, features a jovial shopkeeper standing in the doorway of Ye Pie Shop, surrounded by an array of encouraging advertising boards. The image exudes a sense of warmth and community, reflecting the charitable nature of the publication. Printers Pie was a quarterly magazine, with a sister publication, Winters Pie, released each Christmas. Both magazines were renowned for their high-quality illustrations and humorous content, with contributions from some of the leading artists and writers of the day, including Hassall himself, William Heath Robinson, Lawson Wood, and Walter Emanuel. The cover design by Hassall is a testament to the artistic talent that graced the pages of these publications. The intricate details of the shopkeeper's attire, the playful expressions of the customers, and the vibrant colors of the advertising boards all come together to create a visually stunning and engaging image. The Printers Pie magazine was more than just a publication; it was a labor of love and a testament to the power of community and the importance of supporting those in need. With its beautiful illustrations and thought-provoking content, it continues to captivate audiences over a century after its initial publication.
