I’m not sure where I saw this first, so I’ll just link to the original source. Things Magazine presents the Pelican Project – an archive of covers of Pelican (now Penguin) books from the 1930s to the 1980s.
What a great image of the evolution of graphic design and typography. And it’s interesting to see the visual unity within each of the decades.
The ’70s were golden.
