The gears were set, the flame was lit,
It burned so bright and red.
'We're off the ground,' Sabastian cried.
Straight up, full steam ahead!'

This scan was made from the book, not the painting, which is why it shows a center seam and a slight dot pattern. While the book shows this as a two-page spread, it is actually a single painting. The actual illustration is signed and dated by the artist. This painting was originally created on artist's board (a heavy board with an archival paper surface.) When the paintings were dry, the artist removed the paper from the board for scanning by the book publisher. As a result, the back has an uneven surface. This does not detract from the appearance or value of the painting. It does help authenticate the fact that this piece was used in a book. Similar Delamare illustrations have been purchased and displayed by museums.
