<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>This inscription is notable for including a figurative image alongside painted words. Around the central image of a man in profile in a roundel, the words are painted in red and dark grey with notes in pencil in the margin. Taliesin was designed as a periodical cover, and Jones provides printing instructions in the margins: “To be printed in two colours: grey and dull brick red. The variations in the grey tone are accidental & can be disregarded.”</p><p>Not included in Nicolete Gray, <i>The Painted inscriptions of David Jones</i>, London: Gordon Fraser, 1981.</p></p>
