I've been doing some too. I emailed the Tate to ask if they had any and they set up a room with 20 prints in it for me to have a close look at. Here's my first effort.

Just showing off now but the current talk by John Hartley is about between the wars anthologies during which he mentioned a couple of these, sitting above my desk. The next talk is Stefanie Tegeler on M. R. James' characters as Mad Scientists. What's not love? #WarningToTheCurious

@plemaire.bsky.social is running this for us and it's a very enjoyable play experience. It's at a very different pace to much of the gaming I do and there's a lot more space in which to develop characters. I'm reminded of Flaming Taft.
