Dear Mr. Hillman,
I must prepare for a Planetarium, in Milan, Italy, an evening about "Mars in science fiction". Unfortunately, all Barsoom illustrations I found show only the hero fighting the villains or the monsters. Could you... send me the scan of some more detailed picture of Barsoom, its cities, scenes and inhabitants?
