Layout template for the cover of the Peacock Books edition of 'Ride a Wild Pony', written by James Aldridge [first published under the title 'A Sporting Proposition' (Michael Joseph, 1971)]. The template does not feature any original artwork, but consists of a blank board with two overlays taped over the top. The first overlay is transparent, and features the printed text for the spine and back jacket pasted into position. The second overlay features manuscript instructions for the printer regarding colour reproduction for the text on the jacket.
As this cover features no original artwork by Charlotte Hough, and as the cover of the Peacock Books edition of this title featured a photograph from the film adaptation of the book, it is unclear why this template is in the collection.
