About this work

This image shows a book cover with a simple black-and-white drawing of a jester’s hat and cane crossed like a staff. The text above reads *Peronnik the Fool* by George Moore, with engravings credited to Stephen Gooden. The bottom lists London and the publisher, George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., along with the year 1933. The crossed cane and hat are a classic symbol for a fool—often used to show cleverness hiding behind silliness. The clean lines and lack of color make it feel like an old-fashioned print. Look up Stephen Gooden next to see more of his engraving work.
