About This Item
London: Crime Club / Collins, 1959. This painting on artboard was created and signed by William Randell for the First British Edition of this classic Nero Wolfe mystery novel written by Rex Stout. The painting, itself, measures approximately 7 3/4 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches tall, matted to an overall size of 11 inches wide by 13 1/4 inches tall. An excellent showing large black orchids against a bright red background with yellow lettering. Detective Nero Wolfe’s great pleasure and obsession in life is the growing of orchids. Interestingly, with the dust jacket of the final issued book, the publisher changed the whole color scheme of the jacket. The artist’s red background is changed to black. The black orchids were changed to blue, and the gold lettering, changed to yellow. Seen side by side, the book in jacket and the artwork, the changes are very intriguing.
