The finished artwork by John Rose for the first edition d/w of this book, image 6.9" x 8.5" (17.3cm x 21.3cm) in gouache on art paper mounted on artboard, with Collins' printer's pink instruction sheet on the verso (raggy at top edge), signed by the artist. There is a horizontal cut above the artist's signature across the image, with the instructor's pencil comment written on the artboard at the lower right corner, "Lose John as much as possible" with an arrow pointing to the cut. This does not spoil the image, but rather adds interest for the days of pre-digital technology. Seller Inventory # 001280
