Edgar Rice Burroughs
REPRODUCTION DUST JACKET
for the first A. L. Burt edition book (these were printed from 1915 to 1927, the earliest printings had the spine and front cover designated by white chalky ink printed on emerald green embossed boards, later being printed using black ink on pale green non embossed boards. There are varients but the jacket will fit all of these.)
which does not include the book.
The facsimile dust jacket is trimmed, enclosed in Mylar, and pre-fitted and formed to put right onto your book
and protect and beautiful it for your lifetime. Each jacket is signed on the reverse of each jacket, in number two pencil, by the artist, John Anthony Miller for additional collectability.
Artistically rendered in San Buenaventura, California at the John Anthony Miller studio of art, etching and engraving in conjunction with Phantom Bookshop, in 2021.
This jacket is hand-produced and labeled as a facsimile or reproduction dust jacket. No more than 15-20 of these per year (if that) as they are labor-intensive. John Anthony Miller is an award-winning fine artist, etcher, engraving artist and approaches these facsimile dust jackets as artistic works that are made to the highest standards. The dust jacket is printed using archival non-fading inks that will last over 100 years.
This is a quality facsimile dust jacket for the first edition and early editions of this book by the same publisher (A. L. Burt).
"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.
