EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's captivating cover design for the Letter Book Series title "Cock-O-Lorum," dated 1921, showcases a striking white cockerel in full strut. The cockerel, with its bold red comb and wattles, gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and curious expression. Its yellow feet and claws are meticulously detailed, adding to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The cockerel's black tail feathers fan out behind him, adding to the overall sense of movement and energy. This cover design is a beautiful example of the illustrative style of Cecil Aldin, who was known for his depictions of animals and birds. Aldin's ability to capture the unique personality and character of his subjects is evident in this image, which perfectly encapsulates the vitality and spirit of the white cockerel. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," were a time of great social and cultural change, and this cover design reflects the era's fascination with the natural world. The Letter Book Series, which featured a new title each month, was a popular publication during this time, and Cecil Aldin's cover designs were a major draw for readers. This image is not only a historical artifact of the 1920s but also a testament to the enduring appeal of Cecil Aldin's illustrative style. The white cockerel's bold gaze and confident strut continue to captivate viewers, making this cover design a timeless classic.
