"The Bar of a Café is the Parliament of the People" (Balzac). An enormous amount of research went into this Great Big Collage. Read on...
This Great Big Collage is slightly smaller than the others in this series being only 150 x 90 cms, or 60 x 36 ins: usual rules for postage and envelopes apply. I agree with Monsieur Balzac -- The bar of a café IS the Parliament of the people.…
