  1. An imaginative illustration, Ray. I've seen some of Harry Clarke's drawings, but this was new to me. Too bad about him being buried in a communal grave.

    1. I hadn't heard of Harry Clarke until I came across this illustration. Imaginative is the right word - I thought it really original. Shame about his health problems and dying so young.
