The illustrator isn't mentioned, but there is a signature "AME??" at the bottom, see the scan. The style seems familiar to me, does anyone know? KB also doesn't mention the illustrator. $$$$$$$

It looks a bit like Frans Mettes; just look at some of his posters from that period featuring human figures. The "M" and "E" also match his signature, which isn't always exactly the same. The letter "A" is sometimes a "swing" he gave to his "M." I'm not entirely sure, though. AI, after presenting this artist and the cover, also indicated that this is quite possible. Further research is needed... but perhaps it will help in the search.

SjaakZaanstad Thanks! I found a site auctioning posters by Frans Mettes and wasn't aware of his versatile art. Because the illustrator drew in various styles, it's difficult to immediately identify his hand for the cover of my book. I haven't been able to find anything comparable yet.

I think we are dealing with the illustrator Eppo Doeve here.

$$$$$$ Thanks too! Some of the illustrations by Eppo Doeve do resemble my cover artwork. However, where cover illustrations are signed, it clearly says Doeve. I found similar styles in LD #9345817 and #4887873. However, the signature on my book below doesn't look like Doeve.
