Etching on cream laid paper with an unknown watermark with an AL inside a ribbon. 10 1/4 x 7 7/8 inches (258 x 187 mm), full margins. Signed, titled, and dated in pencil lower margin. In good condition with one small, very minor 1/4- inch horizontal tear in lower-center quadrant of the image area, in the area of the doorway beneath the arch, very difficult to discern, and completely unobtrusive. 1/2-inch minor horizontal edge tear center sheet edge, bottom margin (outside of image area). Paper tape from a previous hinge at top right and left sheet edges. Light scattered age tone and surface soiling. Perhaps now most famous for one particular illustration for an edition of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Sullivan's etching of a skeleton crowned in roses was appropriated by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley for the now iconic Grateful Dead poster and album cover.
