1951568634Boston: Little Brown & Co 1951. Softcover. Near Fine. Gelatin silver photograph. Measuring 8" x 10". A photograph of a sketch of J.D. Salinger by artist E. Michael Mitchell who provided the iconic cover illustration that appeared on the first edition of The Catcher in the Rye. The illustration shows Salinger from behind a partial profile of the exceptionally reclusive author. Near fine with very light creasing at the tips of all but one corner and light toning or offsetting to a portion of the back of the photo.<br /> <br /> We could find no other examples or references to this image of Salinger being used to promote his writing but note that the original drawing appeared in an exhibition of his manuscripts and personal items at the New York Public Library in 2019 in celebration of his 100th birthday. Salinger famously demanded that - despite Catcher being his first book - the publisher not send review copies to critics he not do press interviews even after becoming a Book-of-the-Month Club selection and his author photo be removed from the dust jacket. The incredulousness of his requests prompted the Little Brown Vice President D. Angus Cameron to intervene asking the first-time author: "Do you want this book published or just printed" Sensing the precariousness of the situation Salinger fell in line for the last time.<br /> <br /> We speculate that this drawing by Mitchell was created in the hope that it could be used by Little Brown in place of an author photo whether for Catcher or one of his next few books. Regardless a compelling and rare image of Salinger created by his longtime friend and clearly indicating his need for privacy. Little, Brown & Co unknown
