A restored facsimile dust jacket for the 1st 1932 Grosset & Dunlap edition of TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The jacket was restored by artist John Anthony Miller and archival ink and special paper were used. Jacket comes trimmed and enclosed in a Mylar jacket protector, ready to put on the book. Please see the photograph. As in all our facsimile dust jackets, the verso of the jacket has an affixed label, stating such, or is signed by the artist-restorer John Anthony Miller, or indicated on the jacket that it is a facsimile. |
| Artistically rendered in San Buenaventura, California at the John
Anthony Miller studio of art, etching and engraving in conjunction with
Phantom Bookshop, 2017. This jacket is hand-produced and labeled as a facsimile dust jacket. I sell no more than 15-20 of these per year (if that) as they are labor-intensive. I am primarily an artist, and facsimile dust jackets are treated as artistic works made to the highest standards. This is a quality facsimile dust jacket for the first edition and early editions of this book by the same publisher. Special paper, archival ink, enclosed in a removable Mylar jacket protector and ready to put onto your book. This piece of protective art for your book was digitally restored by John Anthony Miller, award-winning artist. Signed by the artist on the reverse of the book, in addition to having this indicated on the front that this is a facsimile jacket edition marked very discreetly, as shown. "John's unique artistry was evident as soon as I saw The Great Gatsby dust jacket. Having seen scores of facsimile jackets, John's work is in a completely different league. The rich tonal quality of the colors is breathtaking and the weight of the paper is carefully considered. He satisfied the needs of the most demanding client, even during a personally trying time. I look forward to doing continued business with him in the future and give him my highest recommendation." Ryan Dohm, Profiles in History. |
