On page 1.6 the tan cover has a slave auction as the art work while the blue cover has a downtown image. I don't have a 2nd anymore. Could someone tell me which image is on 1.6 2nd edition? Thanks.

I did some checking around and this is what seems to be the print order:

1st edition, tan, with slave auction on 1.6
1st edition, blue, with slave auction on 1.6
1st edition, blue, with downtown hamlet on 1.6
2nd edition, with downtown hamlet on 16

Any additional info would be appreciated.

That's a good spot and means I need to find one more print - I've probably had it at some point and sold it too.
