Wyeth first painted the title block to look like a scroll with hand-painted lettering, according to a color proof found in the N. C. Wyeth Studio Collection. It’s not clear whether the artist or a staff artist at Scribner’s changed the shape of the box; a type-set title was added during the press run.
