August 1971 is the publication date for Rose Palmer's One Solitary Twilight. This is a Signet contemporary mystery novel about a girl named Polly who use an astrologer to find the murderer of a tenant in Polly's building.
This is an unusual cover for Allan Kass but typical of mysteries and gothics of that date. He gives us a combined illustration of our heroine, the apartment building and the moon. A few other earlier works of his have this same design.

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for putting all this terrific artwork online. You continue to do so in a (seeming) vacuum of little or no feedback, & I just wanted you to know that (at least from this subscriber) it's appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. It's been a source of frustration that not much is found online about the great paperback illustrators.
ReplyDeleteI hope by this blog to create awareness for Allan Kass's work and to encourage others to do the same with other illustrators. I would hate to see this artwork disappear without recognition.
Here, here! I have my own personal favorite (Gino D'Achille) who's paperback (and general illustration) material I have been collecting for years, maybe one day I'll find the time to get all that stuff scanned & online.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
