A dizzying amount of caps from Tendril, for the cover of an album with compositions by Albert Ketèlbey (1875–1959), performed by Eric Rogers (1921–1981) and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The illustrated triptychs are early works by Susan Obrant. The layout and typography is uncredited. The record was released by Decca in the UK. This is the US release by London Records, with identical artwork.

Someone took issue with the top-heavy R in Windsor Elongated: in the title (but not in the smaller lines below), this glyph was replaced with the one from Cheltenham Extra Condensed. The liner notes use an interesting typeface, too: it’s Rudolph Ruzicka’s Primer.
