description: 1999: Original cover painting by Mark Salwowski for the 1999 Orbit edition of Maureen McHugh's multiple-award-winning science fiction opus, "China Mountain Zhang". 72 x 48 cms, painted in ink on illustration board. Fine, pristine. With an intense and beautiful sci-fi mood, Salwowski's cover far exceeds those of several other editions of the famed novel. Please see scans (note that the scan of the book itself is provided for reference. The book is not part of this item). Two small scratches (see scan). Another wow by Salwowski. Big and striking, a room-center eye-catcher hanging on the wall - it is, in fact, hanging on mine right now, with another Mark Salwowski piece. Frame is not included, though. Accompanied by a copy of Salwowski's signed transmittal letter. LART
