The Surgeon’s Warning Poster

Robert Southey lived from 1774 to 1843. He wrote the original Goldilocks tale

and was Britain's Poet Laureate for over 30 years.

Madame Talbot was inspired by the famous 1906 photograph titled, "A Student's

Dream" by A. A. Robinson and decided to create her own "A Student's Dream"

which worked perfectly with Robert Southey's poem.

PLEASE NOTE: This poster image was hand-drawn by Madame Talbot using General's

Cedar Pointe #333-2HB pencils on Crescent 201.6 Hot Press Medium Weight

illustration board at original poster size. An antique Koh-i-Noor rapidograph

pen and Dr. P. H. Martin's Bombay Black India ink were used for the final inking.

After completion, the image was hand-delivered to Ryan Gwinner Press

in Portland, Oregon and printed on an offset printing press.
