Perspectives. No 13. Cover and typographic design: Alvin Lustig

Autumn 1955.

British edition of Perspectives published by Hamish Hamilton London. Printed at the Curwen Press.

I assume this was the last cover and layout Lustig designed before his death in December 1955.

Lustig had by that time become blind and he ‘directed’ his wife, Elaine Lustig Cohen, to design the issue.
