Treasure Island, 1986
Scope and Contents
A file containing a paperback copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Treasure Island, which features plasticine model illustrations made by Luck & Flaw, photographed by John Lawrence Jones. The cover of the book also bears the Spitting Image logo. Accompanying the book is a set of photographic proofs for the cover and illustrations (L+F/61 to 82).
The original work by Luck & Flaw was done in 1980 and 1981, but it was shelved upon completion due to the lack of interest from publishers. The success of Spitting Image provided an opportunity to publish this version of the book, which was done by Faber & Faber in 1986.
