FIRST EDITION
Cover design by Tracy Patterson
Frontispiece: Pat Oxenford created this design in acrylic from a tray in the Dr. Richard Godshall collection. The red one-sheet waiter with a white band has yellow peaches with vermilion finger-painted details, blue stroke flowers with leaves along the sides, and yellow sunflowers with vermilion centers and blue strokes on the ends. Vermilion berries and green leaves complete the design. There is no black detail work; the details are painted in deeper shades than the base colors. A yellow stripe is around the inside of the white band, and a double yellow stripe is around the flange.
