Happy 2/3 birthday Harry

Eight months old today.

Some snow here, with more on the way, they're making emergency lift sharing plans at work. In other work news, we're having another desk reshuffle.

That Harry Clarke / Faust went unsold

Immediately relisted at �585...This is new a Harry Clarke illustrated book, Nightmares in Decay: The Edgar Allan Poe illustrations of Harry Clarke, cool! Not out until next year though. We'll have some of that.Tried our Harry on a new breakfast today...

Happy half birthday Harry

Where did that six months go? Official half birthday portrait here soon.

He's eating well, all his porridge this morning, Clare is trying him on FISH later. Does not sound very vegan to me...

If I add some cash to my winnings I can buy this signed Harry Clarke

Faust signed by Harry Clarke. Maybe one day, probably need to have a slightly bigger win before I spend nearly six hundred quid on a book.Not my Harry Clarke, but Clare's great grand uncle, of course. We'll have a stack of signed Harry Clarkes as soo...

A signed Harry Clarke "Faust"

Starts at over 600 quid though bit rich, but it is a signed first edition. Looks a little rough to me. Also someone has listed this book about Harry Clarke for 90 quid, optimistic surely. We have that one, so that's one less potential bidder...Not ou...

That book that people keep ebaying at �400

This book, that someone keeps trying to sell at around the four hundred quid mark, someone's just put a copy on at only ten pounds. That's Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tales, illustrated by Harry Clarke. Not my Harry, this Harry....

1930 Fairy Tales relisted AGAIN at GBP385

See it here, illustrated by Harry Clarke. Too expensive.Lordy, just realised we have not listed our very own Harry Clarke on the family tree yet! My son Harry Clarke was born on the 8th of June, 2009....

Day two. Would Harry please come to the diary room...

Not such a great night's sleep, but apart from that everything going well. He cries like crazy when he's being changed, probably the sudden change of temperature or maybe I'm using the wrong kind of staples on the nappy. He wouldn't sleep in his bask...

Harry Clarke's birth by twitter

I was twittering from my phone from the hospital. Could not see any of the replies or even if my messages were getting out there... Might come back and add to this post, fill in the details and reorder this... then again might not, can see me bit bus...

Happy birthday!

Born 2.44am, mother and baby had a time of it through the labour but we're here now! Baby only has a little bruising from the delivery otherwise he's all perfect.3.39kg which is about 7lb 8oz, EXACTLY the weight Clare picked in the sweepstake. They s...

We have Clarkes in Cosham at that time

But it's a common name, so can't find a connection at the moment... my great great grandfather James Cole Clarke was born in 1824 in Cosham, and his second youngest son was a Harry Clarke, but born in 1856 and married to Jane Emma Hall. We have quite...

Fairy Tales now relisted at �385

See it here, still sounds pricey to me!...

Who started this book at �450???

Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tales, from 1930, illustrated by Harry Clarke but still! I have one of these, did they mean �4.50? Maybe that's why the auction was ended, with no bids....

The Year's At The Spring

An anthology of recent poetry, recent in 1920 anyway. Fully illustrated by Clare's great grand uncle Harry Clarke, and an introduction by him to boot. Complete with dust wrapper. I want this, buy it for us! 6 days left to bid...Hmm, Who is Mary Evans...

See the Harry Clarke issue, of Irish Arts Review. Nice! Someone is sending me a copy of it, for our ever growing Harry Clarke collection...Hmm, whole stash of Harry Clarke on Amazon at the moment, including canvas prints. I hope they're all licensed ...

Hmm I will have to find a way to sneak the ebay ads into the feed...

Working in Dublin sounds cool, thanks for the note about that issue of Irish Arts Review, I would really appreciate a copy. How did you get two copies then, did they replace the first one you took?...

Slight repost from the blog:Hans Anderson Fairy Tales First Edition, only �800! The same seller also has The years at the spring at a cheaper price. Nice to see some Harry Clarke activity on ebay anwyay....

An elusive item for all fans of the Clarke Family

This looks interesting, an invitation to a preview of a retrospective of the works of David Clarke, son of Harry Clarke and Margaret Clarke. If you can have such a thing as a preview to a retrospective.You are bidding for a paperback exhibtion previe...

So this is who I was bidding against in that last Harry Clarke auction

I bought a 1931 copy of Hans Anderson's Fairy Tales on ebay the other day for about twenty quid. It's in terrible condition (though I've mostly reassembled it) and some of the black and white illustrations have been crayoned in by a child, BUT, all o...

A couple of modern affordable Harry Clarke books

Firstly Queens, I have a copy of this book, and it's nice but slim, it's a collection of colour plates of a series of nine windows that are in private hands, I think I paid twenty four pounds for mine, happy bidding... Secondly, a book that we got ne...

Tales of Edgar Allen Poe

See this ebay auction, loads of really good scans of Harry Clarke illustrations there, worth checking out out just for those, even if you don't bid... In fact, please don't bid, because I might.There is a much later reprint available, that's too high...

Woo won my first Harry Clarke auction

A copy of Queens is winging it's way to me as we speak...Stay tuned to the new ebay links over in the sidebar too....

Harry Clarke re-listing

Ebay's been a bit quiet for Harry Clarke illustrated books just recently, but this one's just been re-listed. It's not a particularly early one, an 11th impression from 1933, but it does have a full set of colour pictures. I was watching it when it h...
