The Gambler's Nightmare: Original Abner Dean New Yorker Cover Art

Two of Abner Dean's five published New Yorker covers showed up on the auction block last week. The first of these was given the title Gambling Nightmares by Heritage Auctions. I've modified this to The Gambler's Nightmare because I'm very competitive.

Making the playing card figures transparent allows Dean to crowd them around his beleagured gambler.
