When P-E posted the above utsikt cover, he wrote that "the style is very much like some you'll find in Alvin Lustig's works... I haven't found proof of it but could Eksell been a student of Lustig's? He studied in LA after the war and Lustig taught there at the time..." Does anyone know if this is the case?
