This underworld, barroom image shows a head-turning femme fatale with the sort of bad-girl good looks that spell bad luck, this pulp fiction paperback cover painting was deftly painted by Harry Barton in 1955 for the cover of the Ace Double Novel The Squeeze. As the tag line announces this unlucky redhead…”Played With Death To Get The Man She Wanted”. In pristine condition, handsomely silk matted and framed behind glass and ready to hang. A remarkable and defining tempera paperback cover painting, a complete edition of the published book is included in the sale.
