Title

Slipcase, 1825 Forget Me Not

Subject

Literary Annual Defined

Description

The neo-classical embellishments adorning early annuals' covers and slipcases remind readers of the three graces: charm, beauty, and literature. Ackermann, with this final marker of the literary annual, focuses on establishing the literary annual in association with “taste,” a slippery term that denotes pleasure, desire, appetite, imagination, and shared feelings (from Harris' Forget Me Not: The Rise of the British Literary Annual)
