You confirm my suspicions of an oh-so-carefully-worded copyright "tell" 
that tries to avoid any mention of "public domain." It's a shame. The 
publisher earns his keep by making it convenient for me to acquire a 
hard copy of the Halls, whether they're in the public domain or not.
    AFAIK none of Hall's stories made it to the cover of the magazines
that they originally appeared in. So the chapbook cover [1] probably
comes from the interior artwork of "The Time Drug." 
    Who knows? The publisher may feel that their distinctive image crop,
which cuts off the bottom third of the original artwork, is also
copyrightable. So that's why the oh-so-carefully-acquired artwork shown 
at the top-right corner of my review uses the original, full-size 
artwork. Besides, the original artwork looks better.
    Allow me to ask the group yet another question. When a story's in
the public domain that includes its interior artwork too, right?

Note.
