“The Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald
The Showcase Centres Around International Editions of One Title
The Great Gatsby has been published with a wide range of covers and designs throughout the century. They all concoct a visual imagery that evokes the Jazz Age of decadence, opulence, cocktail parties and yellow convertibles, even when the design is purely typographic. Are any of these new covers likely to become as iconic as Francis Cugat's original 'Celestial Eyes' cover from 1925?
