These are cover art by Ian McClaren for Pelican Books under Germano Facetti in the 1960s and 70s. This is such exquisite work— its looks so simple and easy to do now, but would have been a tedious process back in the 60’s—70s. I can’t see ours selves finishing our work with radiograph pens, acetate, paper & scissors!
You can see the structure and thought that has went into these; Each cover is type set in a clear simple grid system.
Some clever thinking!
