Dust Jacket of Howard Chapelle's "American Small Sailing Craft: Their Design, Development, and Construction." Black and White text on red back ground; at bottom black text reading "Over One Hundred Plans and Illustrations" Lower half is white back ground with four black-line inkings of sailing craft transposed with red-line images of boat plans showing profile, plan, and section views. One of the finest over all cover designs in my opinion.
