1943.629.A: Proof of the cover of "The Savoy," no. 1, January 1896
PrintsIn this cover design for The Savoy magazine, the publication title runs across the top of the sheet, set in all capital letters in a serif font. Below the title is an illustration of a young woman strolling through a park, accompanied by a small cherub carrying a staff. She is wearing a long coat and gloves, and holds a whip in her right hand. The cherub is also wearing a long coat, but as he takes a step forward, he pulls it back to reveal his nude frontside.
