Twenty-five years ago, Ralph Steadman signed a copy of the softcover edition of I, Leonardo (1988).
Although there's no inscription, there is a drawing of a fantastic Steadman creature. Is it drawn at the request of a dragon fancier? Or might it be something made to gratify a dinosaur enthusiast? The two-legged, four-toed, spined creature raises some questions as to its taxonomy. Of course, the inspiration for it could be pure Steadman. What ever it has to do with Leonardo may not be self-evident. The ink spatter, a Steadman trademark, comes already printed on the page.
