Original Painting Artwork Design for the First Edition Dust Jacket of W. Somerset Maugham’s The Vagrant Mood
signed first edition
by MAUGHAM, W. SOMERSET
Published in London by Heinemann in 1953, this signed dust jacket design by the noted dust jacket designer, Barlow, is in fine condition and is much more bright and vivid than the printed dust jacket. Strikingly done in shades or maroon, black, and silver, the artwork is very handsomely framed and matted. Image size approximately 9 by 11 inches (13 by 15 1/2 inches overall). The image shows all the lettering on the front panel and that of the spine area as well showing the publisher’s windmill logo. Original artwork for the first edition dust jackets of W. Somerset Maugham is rarely encountered. (Inventory #: 16007J)
