About this work

This image is a book cover for *Peronnik the Fool*. The title is written in fancy script at the top, with a small drawing of a jester’s hat and staff below it. The hat is tilted, and the staff has a curved top. The text credits George Moore as the author and Stephen Gooden as the engraver. The jester’s hat looks simple but carefully drawn, with fine lines showing texture. The staff’s curve adds a playful touch to the design. Look up Stephen Gooden to see more of his detailed engravings.
