Whilst cleaning out my room and sorting through the accumulated rubbish I acquire I found these pictures in a calendar from 1990. All the work is by the Irish artist Richard King (1907-1974) who worked principally in stained glass and as an illustrator. He worked for and succeeded the Irish stained glass artist Harry Clarke. I posted some work by him before here.
