Same here. It would look lovely framed in a library.

Nice, but 1000 Euros (£850+) no- I'll manage without.

If it had been a Betty Maxey cover, or a Derek Lucas cover, I might have considered it!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
