JONATHAN CAPE
This previously unidentified signature was identified as the English publisher Jonathan Cape on the opening day of the exhibition by the University of Texas's own Michael Winship, the Iris Howard Regents Professor of English Literature. Cape's distinctive signature includes a slash at the end of his last name, which worked as a red herring on the minds of the project's curators until Dr. Winship made his suggestion. The identification was confirmed swiftly with a trip to the stacks and a glance at an inscription by Cape in a book. We will select an item from the collections and add a biography of Cape soon.
