OriginalMarvel Science Stories April-May 1939.
Reason
A fine, rare example of Sci-fi art from an ephemeral magazine. Given that my copy's falling apart, I'm not that surprised they're rare. It still shows some signs of age, but is much more usable. Compare with the original scan, File:Norman Saunders - cover of Marvel Science Stories for April-May 1939 - original.tif. That scan came out very light (the colours are more accurate here) but shows the damage... There's a column describing the cover, a "beauty parlor of the future" or a "Mechanical Fountain of Youth" to give the title of the column about it.
