CHRIS BEATRICE: THE KING'S PUZZLE

June 27, 2011

Chris Beatrice created the cover art and design for “The King’s Puzzle,” a young adult mystery novel centering on King George VI's historic visit to Canada in 1939. The scene depicts a late night water stop by the locomotive, where thousands of spectators turned out to see the royal train.

The illustration required exacting historical accuracy, including the precise model of the locomotive, the special markings and insignia on the train and station, and the layout of the station and the surrounding countryside. The book is slated for release in July 2011.
