| Item Description: | Jacket is reproduction of Dadd's work. It was painted for H.G. Haydon, an official at Bethlem Hospital, where Dadd was sent after he became insane and murdered his father in 1843. He was transferred to Broadmoor in July 1864, before being able to complete the painting, but he later wrote a long and rambling poem entitled 'Elimination of a Picture & its subject - called The Feller's Master Stroke', which attempts to explain some of the imagery. "This special signed edition is limited to 500 numbered paperback copies and 300 numbered hardcover copies."--Page [3].
