Description
Virgil Finlay - "A Midsummer Night's Dream," page 17 Illustration Original Art (Popular Fiction Publishing Co., 1935). Virgil Finlay burst upon the professional fantasy illustration scene at the age of twenty-one when his drawings were printed in the December, 1935 issue of the Weird Tales pulp. Editor Farnsworth Wright, recognizing Finlay's incredible talent, also assigned him to the first of a proposed series of illustrated reprints of Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The trade paperback printed twenty-five gorgeous Finlay illustrations. This surreal scene hails from Act I, Scene II, and had a caption which read, "Is All Our Company Here?" The illustration has an image area that measures 7" x 5.5", and the art is in Excellent condition.Auction Info
