PERCEVAL, Don. Original pen and ink chapterhead illustration, "59 B.C.--Clamperdom among the Gauls."
Item #6145
5"x7"; matted, framed & glazed with pencil title in Perceval's hand; frame size, 17.5"x12". Gallic soldier chasing a widow chastely revealing her breast in Perceval's Adam was a Clamper, written and illustrated by Perceval and published posthumously by Platrix Chapter No. 2, E Clampus Vitus, in 1980. Of this period, Perceval sought to clarify historical inaccuracies as he wrote: "Again there is confusion brought about by wise-sounding historians who were not members of our Order, and were, therefore, basely ignorant. The divisions of Gaul were no mere geographical boundaries, they were divisions of the mind. For in 62 B.C. Marius Licinius, the N.G. Arbiter of Tiber Chapter, had journeyed to Gaul to enlighten its inhabitants and to teach them ways of dealing with their problem of widows." Fine condition. |
