What hidden image? The only thing off about the image is that it has a face which is extremely visible on the front. If that was "hidden" then you're extremely impaired.

Does anyone know where I can get an english translation of the folio society edition? I got a bit of money for my birthday and there's a copy available for 150, I could just use half of my birthday money to get it and the other half what I would gladly spend on a book so beautiful and classic as this. I would like to save some money though.
