About the Item

Etching on cream laid paper with an unknown watermark with an AL inside a ribbon. 10 1/4 x 7 7/8 inches (258 x 187 mm), full margins. Signed, titled, and dated in pencil lower margin. In good condition with one small, very minor 1/4- inch horizontal tear in lower-center quadrant of the image area, in the area of the doorway beneath the arch, very difficult to discern, and completely unobtrusive. 1/2-inch minor horizontal edge tear center sheet edge, bottom margin (outside of image area). Paper tape from a previous hinge at top right and left sheet edges. Light scattered age tone and surface soiling. __________ Perhaps now most famous for one particular illustration for an edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Sullivan's etching of a skeleton crowned in roses was appropriated by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley for the now iconic Grateful Dead poster and album cover.
