EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Respite: The Elderly Gentleman and the Delight of Printers Pie, 1915 The front cover of the Printers Pie magazine for December 1915, published by The Sphere and Tatler, captures a poignant moment of tranquility amidst the bustling activity of a bookstall. An elderly gentleman, dressed in a top hat and overcoat, takes a break from the chilly winter weather with a copy of the latest Printers Pie in hand. His umbrella leans against the stall, a testament to the unpredictable British weather. Printers Pie was a unique publication, produced in aid of printers charities, and edited by W. Hugh Spottiswoode. This sister publication to the annual Winters Pie, carried contributions from some of the leading artists and humorous writers of the day, including John Hassall, who designed the covers, William Heath Robinson, Lawson Wood, and Walter Emanuel. The cover image, designed by John Hassall, showcases the charm and whimsy that defined Printers Pie. The elderly gentleman's engrossed expression as he reads the magazine underscores the appeal of the publication, which provided a much-needed escape from the daily grind for its readers. The image invites us to imagine the joy and comfort that the magazine brought to its audience, especially during the challenging times of the early 20th century. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time, to a moment of simple pleasure, where the magic of the printed word and the warmth of a good book come together to create a moment of respite for the elderly gentleman, and a lasting memory for us.
