London Dada Work No. 990/A; The Pilgrim’s Readership/ VIP

 


The Pilgrim’s Readership
Michael St. Mark 2017

 

The 17th C. Bunhill Fields tomb of John Bunyon, author of the world-renowned tome The Pilgrim’s Progress
A rare man of principle, who spent 12 years in prison after refusing to give up his nonconformist preaching.
