Comments
Cover of 'Below the Salt' by C.E. Raimond, London, 1896
According to the Pennells, Whistler also designed the covers for two books by Elizabeth Robins (Mrs. George Richmond Parks) (1862-1952). These were Below the Salt (written under the name of C. E. Raimond) and The Open Question: A Tale of Two Temperaments, both published by Heinemann (1896, 1899). The first bore the silver emblem of a full rigged ship, and the second, two shields. 1 On 12 September 1911 Heinemann said he would let Elizabeth Robins Pennell (1855-1936) have the cover designs, but it is not clear if he meant drawings or the actual covers. 2
Since no drawings have survived, and the designs do not look like Whistler's work, these have not been separately catalogued. Whistler may have done no more than make suggestions.
