Aleister Crowley edit
Alistair Crowley is a misspelling of his name - is this in the original quoted text (in which case a sic would be in order) - or has it been introduced? Colonies Chris (talk) 17:30, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- JUst checked, it was in the original so I added a sic. Thanks for pointing it out. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:47, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Death edit
This is an wonderful topic - props to Philafrenzy for starting it. About his death, I just found a snippet in Books and Bookmen of 1959, "I remember how hard he tried, at considerable expense, to get an impossible book published for Ironfoot Jack Neave, "King of Bohemia", a lovable if often exhausting Soho character who had nothing left to ... Jack died a couple of months ago." This not quite detailed enough but gives us a clue. The painting dated 1961 seems quite circumstantial so we need more such clues, I reckon.

- Thank you Andrew, it's possible of course that the Hall painting was completed after Neave's death or misdated. I wonder if the quote relates to the 1939 Benney book - very scarce! Philafrenzy (talk) 20:38, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
