-
In this book, author Jurgen Tampke tackles the much-debated question of whether the Treaty of Versailles caused the Second World War. I did quite a bit of picture research for this and was relieved when I found this image of David Lloyd George, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, Georges Benjamin Clemenceau and Thomas Woodrow Wilson, taken at the Versailles Peace Treaty. I knew I wanted them and the title to appear as large as possible on the cover and for it to appear quite bold. I enjoyed researching fonts that could be appropriate for this period and tone of the title.
