Additional Details

Although undated, an ink and wash drawing for a design dated 1931 is found on the versos of the cover boards. It is likely that this was a proposal for the 1934 edition of Burton's Arabian Nights that was published with illustrations by Valenti Angelo. Castellon did eventually illustrate Sir Walter Scott's "The Talisman" for the Limited Editions Club in 1968.
