Description

Compare the art with the scan of the paperback itself up above!

This is the 1st of 5 different covers Robert Maguire painted for best selling author Herman Wouk's War and Remembrance, which sold millions of copies and was later adapted as a 12 part television mini series starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Seymour. Having recently watched the mini series again, I can wholeheartedly say that it not only stands up well today, but is still one of the greatest movie epics of all time!

All five War and Remembrance paintings come framed and matted.

These are just great! - Sometimes though, I can't believe how badly some cover art is actually produced when the original art is so well done. I mean, could they make it any smaller on the cover?!

YES, they could Thomas! As the 80's progressed, the art got even smaller than this until they eventually began phasing the art out altogether and the covers were filled with giant sized author names in fancy script, along with almost as giant-sized titles. This is exactly why I'm so passionate about the industry as it was during the 50's and 60's. With very few exceptions, the art was FULL BLEED and the cover copy was fit around the art. If only book publishing could do a 180 degree turn and go back to doing things that way....
