Don't be silly - that is clearly an astronomy book, and the hand gesture suggests he is explaining parallax...

Beautifully done!

I have this miniature, purchased from Harwood before it moved to Crooked D.  He is, of course, Dr Julian Karswell from Night of the Demon

Apparently the complementary Magnus Pyke figure was received poorly and never released. Pity, twas meant to be the start of the Great British 20th C Eccentrics, along with Somerset Maugham, Spike Milligan and Screaming Lord Sutch.

To be clear, I cannot claim credit as it is from the CD site.

Another CD figure to add to my next order list.

How bad was the Magnus Pyke figure? That seems like a great list to have figure of.  lol
