EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Vintage Book Cover Design by Ivor Goldsmid Samuel Montagu, 1941 This book cover design, titled "Roll on, Mississippi!", was created by the talented graphic designer Ivor Goldsmid Samuel Montagu in 1941. Montagu, born in 1904, was a renowned British graphic designer and typographer, best known for his distinctive and evocative cover designs. This particular design was published by The Trinity Trust, a UK-based educational charity. The cover design features a powerful and iconic image of an eagle with its wings spread wide, clutching a lion in its talons, while both animals gaze intently at a globe. The title, "Roll on, Mississippi!", is boldly emblazoned across the top in elegant, cursive script, with the subtitle, "A Story of Adventure and Adventure," appearing below in a more understated font. The imagery on this cover design is rich in symbolism, with the eagle and lion representing strength, courage, and power, while the globe symbolizes the vastness and complexity of the world. The title, "Roll on, Mississippi!", suggests a sense of anticipation, excitement, and perhaps even a call to action. Montagu's use of bold, contrasting colors, such as the deep blue of the background and the gold of the eagle and lion, adds to the visual impact of the design. The overall effect is one of adventure, excitement, and a sense of journeying into the unknown. This vintage book cover design by Ivor Goldsmid Samuel Montagu for "Roll on, Mississippi!" is a stunning example of mid-20th century graphic design, and a testament to Montagu's talent and vision. It is a timeless and captivating image that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers to this day.
