UNFORGIVEN (1992) - W.W. Beauchamp's (Saul Rubinek) "The Duke of Death" Novel Cover with Deputy Sheriff Badge in Lucite Crew Gift - W.W. Beauchamp's (Saul Rubinek) "The Duke of Death" novel cover from Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. After reading Beauchamp's novel about "English" Bob (Richard Harris), "The Duke of Death," Sheriff "Little" Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) accused him and Bob of lying about the Englishman's noble battles in Wichita, Kansas, misreading him as the "Duck of Death" in the meantime.

Printed in black-and-white on heavyweight stock by production, this paper cover features a vintage-style illustration of Bob and his damsel-in-distress surrounded by the bodies of the Englishman's combatants on front with advertisements for "Magnolia Cigars," "Jim Dalton's Saddle Shop," and "Dr. Brady's Cure for the Liquor Habit" on the reverse. The interior pages are printed with unrelated filler text regarding Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. The cover exhibits stains on front and vertical fold line and creasing down its spine, while the interior pages are presented loose. Dimensions: 9.5" x 7.25" (24.25 cm x 18.5 cm)

Estimate: $1,500 - 3,000
