Yet another cover that is tagged as Ward, but that my mind screams out, “It’s not Ward!” So, given the disconnect between what my mind says and what the tag says, I scour the image for a signature, and lo and behold, discover one! Apparently my mind was right this time. It is not H. J. Ward, but Allen Gustav Anderson.
(Anderson’s signature is found to the lower left of the green tree at the right of the cover, just below the white building.)
Good catch! I was going off the auction site listing, but you are correct!
