UPDATE JUNE 2023

I noticed a spike for this page and while I happy it was Martin French’s work, I was horrified by the state of the poxy little jpgs. I tried to locate better, higher resolution versions but nothing came up except for this page. So firstly, I apologize for the bad images and secondly, should anybody come across better versions of these pieces please let me know where to find them.

Cheers, –p
