Bibby's Annual was the work of Joseph Bibby, an English Industrialist and leading light of the Theosophical Society.

The 1922 issue features seventy-one illustrations including three by Watts, two by Burne-Jones, five by Strang, two by Blake, Raeburn's Boy and Rabbit, Reynolds' Jane Countess of Harrington, and Constable's Dedham Lock, etc, etc. Twenty-seven of the illustrations are in colour, four of them full-page. There is a centre-fold of The Last Supper.

The articles include Annie Besant on The New Civilisation, and How Human Inequalities Come About, Lord Leverhulme on The Helpful Inter-relationship of Capital and Labour, Templeton Cherry on The Occult Side of Healing, Emerson's Words of Wisdom, and Thomas Quayle on Wanted - A New Trade Unionism. The Annual is complete with original covers gorgeously printed on both sides.
