Description
I think this was used in a Ray-Ban ad. From the signature and the illustration style I would guess it's from the sixties or early seventies. If anyone knows, I'd like to hear.

This cartoon appears in the book - For Beauty Douglas by Adrian Mitchell. Ralph collaborated with the poet on many occasions producing numerous drawings and book covers. This particular cartoon illustrated the poem - The Apeman's Hairy Body Song. The book was originally published in 1982 although according to Ralph the illustration was originally completed in the early 60's as a spot cartoon for a newspaper. Dave

Thanks, I actually have that book (among a few hundred RS books) I just never remembered seeing that illustration in it.

Roger, Perhaps you'd like to contribute to this blog? James has a great job pulling together a huge selection of Steadman book covers and with your large collection you could probably fill in some gaps. http://causticcovercritic.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/covers-of-ralph-steadman-massive-update.html

Thanks Dave. I have a number of books not pictured there, and I have contacted James about getting some scans to him. I'd love to talk Steadman and compare collections if you're interested. My email is rogerkeim-at-swbell-dot-net.
