Author Description

Exotic, strange, and powerful, this thrilling mystery will keep you guessing until the end. "The five illustrations contained in the following pages are the work of the new phenomenal black and white artist, Wallace Smith. In making the drawings Mr. Smith chose to illustrate the spirit of the text rather than its letter. The result is this series of Renaissance pictures whose dark opulence curiously interprets the moods of the story's hero, Prince Julien de Medici — of Broadway." (1923 - Ben Hecht)
