Alice,
Re John Crane - I had the priviledge to know John quite well during the early/mid 1970's, and I remember him as a rare and very special man, and an exceptionally talented artist.
I have the full set of his superb original broadside ballad collection (I believe there are 25 in total), together with a couple of his small chapbooks, 'Twa Sisters' and 'King Sun'. He also published one of my songs ('Hawkie Chapman') in his 2nd series of broadside ballads.
I will forward my contact details to your website so you can talk to me directly if you would like to see some scanned images of John's work.
