It features the iconic trompe l’oeil skull embedded with $20 gold coin eye sockets together with a rose stem beneath the skull’s teeth, and is signed in pencil by Richard Chopping (1917-2008), who designed a number of James Bond first edition book covers. The proof is lighter in color to the final dust wrapper artwork finally used by Cape. The piece was commissioned by UK publisher Jonathan Cape and is custom-framed in a light oak satin-wood frame. “The Chopping jacket was a tremendous success, both in England and America, and from that day on he and I and Michael Howard of Cape’s have devised all the James Bond jackets, which have now become something of a hallmark with the book trade and have earned prizes for Cape’s.”&nbsp;Ian Fleming (1964).

Ian Fleming was approached by the Daily Express in 1957 about the potential adaptation of his James Bond stories into comic strips. Though initially reluctant, Fleming eventually agreed, and the Daily Express assigned the job to illustrator John McLusky. Fleming's conception of Bond did not align with that of McLusky; the author's idea of the fictional MI6 agent, according to McLusky, was outdated and too feminine. McLusky's Bond prevailed, and on the 7th July 1958, the world saw the face of James Bond for the very first time. Over the next eight years, McLusky worked personally with Fleming to illustrate ten of his James Bond novels, and three of the short stories included in For Your Eyes Only: McLusky's original drawings thus form a corpus of the oldest visual history of James Bond. McLusky's illustrations of Bond superseded Fleming's literary depictions, primarily by informing the cinematic representation of James Bond. Striking similarities can be remarked between some of McLusky's comic strips and the later film scenes, suggesting that his illustrations were sometimes used as storyboards for the films. Numerous tales have been circulated about how Sean Connery's agent noticed a resemblance between his client and the cartoon Bond, which led him to encourage Connery to audition for the 1962 film Dr. No. Rumours aside, Connery's Bond paved the way for over 60 years of cinematic success, and established the agent as a British icon.
