This hand-painted photo collage is the original jacket of the Sesquicentennial Edition produced in New Orleans, and published in 1987.

A pile of shrimp crowns the English Art Nouveau plate in the flow blue Staffordshire Iris pattern, which dates to 1903.
It sits atop a detail of vintage ivory lace over a blue textile.
