Archive acquires Furnival / Williams Ant-On Bruckner Lithographic Print

I have always been amused by this graphic ever since I first saw it in Renata Grasberger's Bruckner Ikonographie book (IKO 515). Now, the Bruckner Archive has acquired a signed and numbered (27 of 75) lithographic print of the artwork. The drawing by John Furnival was created in July of 1980 for a postcard put out by the Jargon Society in Cambria, England. The card was number 17 in a series and the back of the card has the following poem by Jonathan Williams: It finally dawns On Herr Doctor Professor Bruckner That he be more likely To find affection for his work From his small friend From the formicary near St. Florian Than from the fancy-cafe caters of Wien And the wise-guy criticasters. Fool-hearty sublimity was never The name of the game.... The card was issued on Bruckner's birthday - September 4, 1980. The lithographic print was signed by Mr. Furnival and Mr. Williams in 1983. The postcard can be seen here.
