Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, 1964

Illustrations by: Bob Abbett

Here’s a crazy concept for a story: What if a black man became president of the United States? Oh, how absurd! But that’s exactly what Irving Wallace proposed back in 1964 with his book, “The Man.”

See how deliberately and effectively Abbett assigned each illustration its own unique colour scheme? And the texture he uses in his work is phenomenal. Yet if you look at his illustrations as a whole, they relate to each other in a harmonious manner.
