Another Look: “Naked Canvas”

Warning: Artistic inspiration drawn from book titles may vary.



Left: Naked Canvas, by Warwick Scott (Popular Library, 1955); cover artist unidentified. Right: Naked Canvas, by Elleston Trevor (Mayflower Dell, 1965); cover illustration by Roger Hall. “Warwick Scott” was of course one of several noms de plume employed by British novelist-playwright Trevor. His most famous pseudonym, however, was “Adam Hall,” under which he penned 19 acclaimed Cold War-era thrillers starring a spy known only as Quiller.
