Edwardian Ball poster, Chuck Sperry, 2015

It's been a good week, this just arrived. It's Chuck Sperry's screenprint for the 15th annual Edwardian Ball, held in San Francisco last weekend and in LA this coming Valentine's Day. Edition size is 125, dimensions are 20 x 35.

From the artist's website:
"In this poster I depict King Edward VII as a Masonic Zombie, supreme in his oligarchic entitlement, one hand on his sword (might at the ready) the other subduing his trained ape (the artist). The setting is British Imperial India, the colonies, and a map shows the imperial campaign: “Civilization” wages war against “Savages, Trolls, and The Great Unwashed.” In this period of unfettered worldwide oligarchy, is it any wonder us apes are getting restless?"
