I thought I’d post another John Richard Flanagan piece tonight, this
time one of his published works. This appeared as a double-page spread
in Collier’s, May 3, 1930, illustrating “Fu Manchu’s Daughter” by Sax
Rohmer. The caption that ran with it reads: “We entered a little room
upon which the big doors opened. This room was not empty. She was well
guarded. And never can I forget her guards!” Unfortunately, a prior
owner decided to make this art fit into a matte they had, which was too
small for the piece, so they glued the bottom of the matte over the
bottom of the illustration. I’ll be taking it to my restorer at some
point in the near future to see if they can remove the glue residue.
