<b><i>Margaret Armstrong : American Book Designer</i></b>
Pippa Passes, by Robert Browning. Dodd 1900. Cover, illustrations, ornaments, endpapers are the work of Margaret and Helen Armstrong. One of her most stunning projects. The book is filled with elaborate page ornaments, one of which is enlarged here. Huge dogwood blossoms waft across the top of the cover design with a gilt sky behind that seems to be raining golden stars.
