Lydian Cursive in use for the jacket of the 1954 novel Mist on the River. Written by Hubert Evans (1892–1986), it has been “described as the first Canadian novel ever to present a realistic portrait of First Nations people as its central characters”.

Note the use of the alternate terminal e in “the”. The author’s name and the spine lettering is added in Lydian’s roman style.
