A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, illustrated by Joel Rothberg, "Printed from hand-etched zinc plates in an edition of 500 numbered and signed copies as one of the publications of the Pratt Adlib Press under the direction of Fritz Eichenberg."

I hope this post brings Joel Rothberg out of the "woodwork." He doesn't have much of an online presence. His 2002 solo show, "Etched in Darkness," seems to be remembered by only this review of it. Joel, some of us are ready for your darkness.

About the novel, which has provoked a number of illustrations through the years: link.

The ERB fanclub includes some images from this book. Their file of the above image has some red in it, which makes me want to see the original book even more. You are looking at my scans from a 60s German magazine (Gebrauchsgraphik, Nov. 1965).

April 2011 update: I actually scored a copy of this book and I'm waiting for it arrive!
