Mackail pamphlet

The great care that Cobden-Sanderson took in planning the layout and typography of each publication, no matter how insignificant, is evident in this pamphlet by J.W. Mackail, which records an address given to the Hammersmith Socialist Society in 1900. Its design is significant in the development of the Doves style in that it was the first of Cobden-Sanderson’s designs to include another colour, the ominous opening line highlighted in blood red. This innovation would realize its full potential in the Doves Press Bible.
