EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting front cover of the Printers Pie magazine, published in December 1909, showcases a delightful illustration by the renowned artist John Hassall. In this whimsical scene, Simple Simon, a character from an old English nursery rhyme, is depicted rummaging in his pocket, searching for coins to give to the Pieman. However, in this case, the Pie is not an edible delicacy, but rather a reference to the magazine itself. Published by The Sphere and Tatler, the Printers Pie was a charitable venture, with all proceeds going towards the Printers Pension, Almshouse and Orphan Asylum Corporation. The magazine's editor was W. Hugh Spottiswoode, and it featured contributions from some of the leading artists and humorous writers of the day, including Hassall, William Heath Robinson, Lawson Wood, and Walter Emanuel. The illustration by Hassall exudes a medieval and Elizabethan charm, with Simple Simon dressed in period attire and the Pieman wearing a traditional cap and apron. The intricate details of the illustration, from the folds in their clothing to the textures of the fabric and the cobblestones in the background, are a testament to Hassall's exceptional artistic skills. The Printers Pie was a beloved publication, and a sister magazine, Winters Pie, was published each Christmas. The magazines provided a platform for creative expression while also contributing to a worthy cause. This front cover is a reminder of the magical world of illustration and the power of art to bring joy and inspiration to people's lives.
