The Art of American Book Covers 1875-1930 / Richard MinskyNotes
"Silhouetted by a golden moon, the elk on the hill creates a dramatic image behind Bradley-style trees. The gold title advances, creating tension. But below the title Amy Sacker gives a twist to the picture plane, with a gold-eyed owl coming toward us, pulling the space around it forward as it flies through the trees." (page 41)Exhibition
