EDITORS COMMENTS
Front Cover of Printers Pie Magazine, December 1911: A Medieval Chase by John Hassall The front cover of the Printers Pie magazine for December 1911, illustrated by the renowned British artist John Hassall, showcases a lively and humorous scene. In the center, a medieval character, dressed in elaborate Elizabethan attire, is shown in hot pursuit of a mischievous dog. The boyish charm of the character, with his rosy cheeks and wide-eyed expression, adds to the playful and amusing tone of the image. Published by The Sphere and Tatler, Printers Pie was a charitable venture aimed at raising funds for printers and their families in need. The magazine was edited by W. Hugh Spottiswoode and was a popular and amusing publication that carried contributions from some of the leading artists and humorous writers of the day. John Hassall, a prolific and influential illustrator, was a regular contributor to the magazine, designing the covers for both Printers Pie and its sister publication, Winters Pie, which was published each Christmas. Hassall's distinctive style, characterized by his intricate line work and whimsical characters, was a perfect fit for the light-hearted and entertaining content of the magazines. The cover of the December 1911 issue is a prime example of Hassall's talent and the magazine's unique charm. The image of the medieval character chasing after a dog is not only visually appealing but also captures the spirit of fun and mischief that defined Printers Pie and its contributions to the charitable cause.
