This piece is part of a personal design project, titled Short Proppositions, to design covers for short stories written by my grandparents James and Dixie Propp.
This is a cover design for the short story The Flaming Stallion, written in 1948 by my grandfather, James Carl Propp. I believe it may have been published in the Canadian magazine, The Star Weekly.
