Emmett and Thorn-now lovers themselves-travel to Paris to retrieve the copy of Time Was Emmett sold. Emmett and Thorn hypothesize that Tom and Ben are "emortal"-they age slowly, but are not immortal, in that they can die. Shahrzad also retrieves a photo of them from a documentary shot in Bosnia in 1995, in which they seem only a decade or so older than the one taken in 1915. Emmett's friend Shahrzad Hejazi at the Imperial War Museum in London recalls and finds a photo of Tom and Ben taken in July 1915, as well as an eyewitness account of them, identified by name, disappearing together into an otherworldly portal. After selling the book and posting the letter to online war history groups, Emmett is contacted by Thorn Hildreth, who produces a 1941 diary entry from her great-grandfather, Rev Anson Hildreth, which mentions close friends Tom and Ben at the Heliopolis Club in Alexandria, and is accompanied by photos of the men. Sure enough, that did happen as I also got to design “The Siege of Eternity” and “The Far Shore of Time” in 1997.London book dealer Emmett Leigh discovers a love letter, written from Tom to Ben, in a World War II-era book of poetry, Time Was by E.L. I also guessed that if I kind of made a “logotype” of the author’s name, the client would likely give me follow-up titles where I would repeat the name almost like a branded series. The peaks nicely grace the edges of the O and H while the clouds lifted from the original painting seem to softly float by the massive author name. So all this power to changes imagery was all still pretty new to designers even by ’96.
Remember the first release of Photoshop to the public was only in 1990. It seems trite today, but the ability to seamlessly merge typography into an already completed painting was pretty impressive. I did a whole lot of Tor Book covers from 1995 to late 1998.Īt this point my skills in Photoshop were becoming quite advanced. Designed around late February and probably submitted to the client in March of 1996. This is the item that comes closest to this date from 25 years ago.
