As you saw in January, Frederick W. Gookin was fond of repetitive and symmetrical design. Here he used American eagles and revolutionary war hats to symbolize the content of A Yankee Volunteer by M. Imlay Taylor. In this design his monogram is clear and prominent.
Frederick W. Gookin
A Yankee Volunteer by M. Imlay Taylor
Chicago: A.C. McClurg and Company, 1898
The following year he designed another ornate symbolic Taylor cover for McClurg:
Frederick W. Gookin
The House of the Wizard by M. Imlay Taylor
Chicago: A.C. McClurg and Company, 1899
Also issued with this design on green cloth
