A tip-top Baldus from a special sale from raising £££ for the NHS (Claire Hyman is a surgeon).

It’s not an attempt to be an engraving or a lithograph. It makes no apology for being a photograph. It has no complexes. Fab. Help the sale - and the NHS - if you can.

Moser’s engravings look haunting. Definitely one to check out before All Hallows’ Eve. The story looks like it might give off some ‘Gary Crew’ vibes. Have you read, Laura?
