Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "Souvenir postcard of music-hall 'light comedy artist' Dare Derek. He is shown in a variety of poses, both clothed and unclothed. The print catalogued is signed back and front by 'Ted' (possibly Dare Derek was a stage name?), and sent from Ted to Brian. Given 'Derek's' playful nakedness, there could easily be some gay connotation."
