Title
Paper Boards, Forget Me Not 1823
Subject
Literary Annual Defined
Description
The first literary annual that was profoundly successful was published in green paper boards with ornate designs on that cover and its slipcase as well as gild edges on the paper. Published in a duodecimo (small) format, the engravings and literary texts were crisp enough on the thick, machine-made paper that the reading experience invited readers to return again and again to peruse the 10-12 engravings and 20-30 literary texts. This format, paper, engravings, poetry, prose, all would be mimicked by every other literary annual publisher and editor for the next 30 years in England and America.
