I created the above illustration – ‘Lunar Society!’ – to accompany an external website listing. This image incorporates parts of a late-18th century monochrome illustration of Derby; and elements from an uncoloured etching illustrating a supernatural tale within a mid-19th century book.

This new work illustration depicts two witches flying over Derby, viewed from the east bank of the River Derwent, looking at the Silk Mill (now the Museum of Making), with Derby Cathedral (then All Saint’s parish church) left of screen. I had to take artistic licence regarding the moon and stars!

The greyscale work-in-progress is illustrated below.
