Eddison's own copy of Fish Dinner has a small clipped photo glued to the rear end paper with this note: This, a photograph of General Catroux, is curiously enough an excellent likeness of my Lord Chancellor Beroald, at 35 - 38, (as in this book & 'M. of M.'). Eric 1941."
(not necessarily the same photo, but this should give an idea)
There are several differences between the Dell edition of the Ziminavia Trilogy and previous, uncollected editions:

Le Balcon, by Baudelaire; the title of the book, Mistress of Mistresses comes from the opening line: Mere des souvenirs, maîtresse des maîtresses, |
The Mezentian Gate
Dell | Others |
Previously unpublished excerpts in several of the incomplete middle chapters: VIII, XII, XXX, XXXI, XXXII, XXXIII | Three poems as an induction |
Chapter 30 has a slightly different title; it is in the original Greek, Philommeides Aphrodite, vs. the translation, Laughter-Loving Aphrodite, in other editions | Incidental illustrations by Keith Henderson |
