Besides ten colour plates, Smith drew a small vignette for the head of each chapter. This is one of them: Heidi on the mountain pasture, both arms round a goat's neck, her face pressed into its coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohanna Spyri, the author of \u003cem\u003eHeidi\u003c\/em\u003e, was born on 12 June 1827. Her two-hundredth birthday in 2027 is the occasion for this anniversary edition: six vignettes from the 1922 book, each on a mug of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigitally restored from the 1922 edition. The printed page carries the dot screen of the halftone process; here the drawing has been rebuilt line by line and the tint laid in as clean, flat colour, so that Smith's pen work reads crisply on white porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine porcelain, 10 oz — 104 mm high, 75 mm across the base. The image runs around the body; handle and rim stay white.
