Yeats Annual Fleuron (Front Cover, Spine, Dedication Page) Based upon Thomas Sturge Moore’s rose design as used in his illustrations for H. P. R. Finberg’s translation of Count Villiers de L’Isle Adam’s Axel with Yeats’s preface (London: Jarrolds Publishers Ltd., 1925), and elsewhere on cover designs for Yeats’s books, most notably that for Per Amica Silentia Lunae (1918), this fleuron was created courtesy of the late Riette Sturge Moore.

Front Cover Vignette: The hawk is taken from the top-board of Responsibilities and Other Poems (London: Macmillan, 1916), Private Coll., London, Image Warwick Gould. The design is by Thomas Sturge Moore, showing Yeats’s change of livery when he moved his books to Macmillan as his principal trade publisher. The book was published on 10 October 1916, the same day as that firm issued his Reveries over Childhood and Youth, also with a Sturge Moore cover-design.

Frontispiece W. B. Yeats in the fin de siècle. From pencilled notes on the verso, this hitherto unknown image had been copyrighted to Elliot & Fry, and each reproduction incurred a fee of 14/– to the London Electrotype Agency. A fee of that sum had been paid for Richardson, ‘The World Writers’, perhaps a series in an untraced periodical, and the image had been filed with ‘English Portraits of Yeats’ in some newspaper picture archive. © Private Collection, London, all rights reserved.
