Earl Mayan - Epitaph for a Spy 1953 cover

See Additional Images. Note hidden art found below art. If you have any knowledge, feel free to share. Looks like the artist painted over an earlier painting. Bikini babes at the beach from what I can tell. Love the new painting, but a shame to go over the other one.


"Epitaph for a Spy" by Eric Ambler. It was originally published in the 1930's , and reportedly reprinted as recently as 2002, but the 1953 edition, for which this art was used, was published by "Pennant Books."
