Kate by Chet Kinsey (Beacon books edition, #B225, 1959)

artwork repurposed for Student Nurses by Gail Jordan [aka Peggy Gaddis] (Uni books #37 1952)

The dates given for these works makes no sense. If the original cover was for a 1959 paperback (which seems likely as the artwork matches), then how could the second book be from 1952? The only way that works is if the “original artwork” is the retouched work from the 1952 book…
