Hello, my name is jonathan hammer and a few years ago I illustrated the Arion Press edition of Animal Farm and also wrote a short introduction. Probably you know about it. It just so happens that I live full time in Huesca province! What a pity that I did not know about the exhibition that I will go and see this week. I would have liked to meet Mr. Orwell. Do you have an email address for the curator, Victor Pardo? I do have a few copies of the Arion Press book and accompanying suite of hand colored Illustrations here in my studio and it might be fun to show them to interested folks in Huesca. Thanks so much.
