John D. - A Portrait in Oils
by John K. Winkler
(with actual Liberty Coin Cover)
(1929 1st Edition)
Book: John D. - A Portrait in Oils by
John K. Winkler
Year/Edition: 1st Edition, 1929
Condition:
Very good to near fine book in good dust jacket. Book is
very clean. Dust jacket has numerous stains, foxing and
tears, though almost exclusively on the outer edges.
Notes: One of
the most famous (and impressive) book covers ever produced.
Depicts John D. Rockefeller handing his caddie a dime. A
1927 Liberty dime is actually imbedded in the cover of the
book. Rockefeller was famously known for throwing handfuls
of dimes in the street for children. Obviously, having the
original dust jacket is key for this book
