Victoria of England, by Edith Sitwell - published by Faber & Faber, 1936 - jacket by Barnett Freedman

Barnett Freedman had a very distinctive style - this book jacket commissioned by Faber for this Edith Sitwell work on the life of Queen Victoria. He chose a portrait of Victoria at the start of her reign (in 1837) rather than the more recognised later images of a 'little old lady'.
