How about a picture of this rejected artwork? I wonder if a booklet of some kind will accompany the Fleming Unbound exhibit. D A L T O N I T EFLEMING PURIST FOREVER TO MOURN THE END OF THE TIMOTHY DALTON ERA |

It's not terribly exciting. I can see why it was rejected.
It does explain why there is no artwork for the Sunday Times TLD - all of Fleming's other short stories had artwork - whether they appeared in Cosmopolitan, Playboy, New York Herald Tribune, Today, etc. I don't get the theme though - an arrow would be more appropriate for FYEO. Bond's heart doesn't get broken in TLD, nor does anyone else's.  |

I'd definitely like to track down that magazine. ---------------------ɹooןɟǝɔuɐp ----------------------------------ǝɥʇ oʇ -----------------------------------------dn uo -------------------------------------------------ǝɯoɔ |

Edit: My link doesn't seem to work but you should find it if you search for "cosmo 5/59"...  But today is the thirteenth... |

Yeah, I've seen that guy's eBay listing, but was wondering if there was more accompanying art other than the brief snippet he included.

Unfortunately the artwork doesn't have Bond in it. It's more of the main characters and vignettes of her affair in the background.
What is majorly cool however, is that the artwork is by Bob Peak - who would later go on to do TSWLM poster and unused License Revoked campaign. |

Very cool. Who knew he had gotten involved with Bond at this much earlier date?
