TIM HILDEBRANDT "THE WORM OUROBOROS" FANTASY BOOK COVER ORIGINAL ART PAINTING.
19-7/8x32" Masonite board w/acrylics original art for cover to E.R. Eddison's high fantasy novel The Worm Ouroboros. Originally published in 1922, this cover art is for Dell's 1991 paperback edition. Art depicts Queen Sophonisba hailing Lord Juss, who takes flight so save his brother astride a rearing hippogryph (a legendary creature that combines the front half of an eagle w/the hind half of a horse). This art was also published as Holochrome Card H1, "Hippo-Gryph," part of the Tim Hildebrandt's "Flights Of Fantasy" fantasy trading cards, published in 1994 by Comic Images. Lower right has painted signature. Back has handwritten labels (one taped to board) as well as name/address of New York City art representatives Frank & Jeff Lavaty & Associates in marker. Board shows moderate corner tip at top w/some scattered edge wear, but art remains clean and VF/Exc. Would make for a fantastic framed display.
