Description

The dust jacket of the first edition of Hemmingway's "The Sun Also Rises" published in 1926 by Scribner's, was illustrated by Cleonike Damianakes. He illustrated the dust jacket with a Hellenistic design of a seated, robed woman, her head bent to her shoulder, eyes closed, one hand holding an apple, her shoulders and a thigh exposed. Editor Maxwell Perkins intended "Cleon's respectably sexy" design to attract "the feminine readers who control the destinies of so many novels".
