JANE RALSTON BURROUGHS
ERB HEROINE II




From The Bottom of the WorldDejah Thoris drawn by JCB for the John Carter series

At age 23, Jack was given the chance to illustrate his father's book, The Oakdale Affair and the
          Rider. JCB was very dedicated to his art and threw himself completely into his work, striving hard to justify his father's faith in him. He used his wife, Jane Ralston, and his brother-in-law, James Pierce as models for the dust jacket, which he painted on a 30" x 50" canvas. The cover and the two interior illustrations were a success and he matured rapidly as an artist. He went on to illustrate all future ERB books published during the author's lifetime - a total of over 125 illustrations.
