Denis Saurat, Death and the Dreamer.
London: Westhouse, 1946. Bra. BF 1091 S778. Designer: Edward Bawden
Edward Bawden (1903-1984) designed jackets throughout his life, and as a lover of 19th century novels, nothing pleased him more than illustrating moments of grotesque comedy in everyday life. Perhaps the cover image represented one of Saurat 's many dreams?
