The artwork as it appeared in print for Dell Books - #762 (included in sale)
Framed and matted under glass
Stanley Borack created this striking, evocative and finely rendered painting for the cover of the 1954 Dell Books paperback Silver Doll by Blair Treynor. A lurid pulp fiction page turner set in Sin City; the back cover slug advertises "the story of a man in the rackets; of the doll who wanted to keep him there, and the woman who wanted to bail out...a smart gal in a sucker's set-up..."
Illustration has been nicely matted and framed under glass and a nice clean edition of the published paperback is included in the sale. Painting has a fine cut line in the surface which mimics the title outlay on the published paperback as it appeared in print, this is a remnant from the publishing process and does not interfere with any of the figures appearing in the illustration.
