Happy New Year

Happy new year to everyone! I'm happy to be back after a break.

This beautiful illustration was done by Mcginnis (I believe) for the James Bond Exhibition "Die Welt des 007" (The World of 007) in the Roemer- und Pelizaeus- Museum Hildesheim in Germany 1998.

The scan is taken from the back of the exhibition catalogue. Thanks to Martin for reminding me about this great artwork.
