Richard's Copy of I Leonardo by Ralph Steadman

Ralph Steadman can draw pretty much anything; his I Leonardo from 1983 can by itself stand as proof of his technical mastery if one needed any. Richard's copy, which changed hands recently on AbeBooks, is signed and dated November 14, 1983. Steadman has taken the R of Richard's name and with a few deft lines rendered the top of Leonardo's head; you wouldn't mistake it for anyone else's.  The ink splotches, alas, are printed. The overall condition is graded by the seller as very good.
