A Great Gulp
A Great Gulp
In 1949, Keith Vaughan illustrated an edition of Arthur Rimbaud's 'Une Saison en Enfer'. On 4 November 1977, Vaughan took a lethal dose of barbiturates and wrote his last diary entry as the drug took effect.
The lithograph for *Matin* — Morning — shows a solitary figure seated in a dark landscape. Vaughan wrote: *"It's a bright sunny morning. Full of life. Such a morning as many people have died on."*
