1968 Surrealism Eric Thacker – Aerojack: An Illustrated Novel

Eric Thacker – Aerojack: An Illustrated Novel [England, likely Leeds or London], 1968. Staple-bound pamphlet, 8 pp. Scarce surrealist production by English writer, jazz enthusiast, and clergyman Eric Thacker (a lifelong associate of artist Anthony Earnshaw). Combines hallucinatory, playful prose with monochrome illustrations of aviators, figures, and dreamlike scenes, characteristic of the British surrealist milieu of the 1960s. Likely a small-press or privately issued work. Condition: staple-bound as issued; moderate wear, with noticeable discoloration and toning to the open edge; some handling marks. A fragile, ephemeral item from the underground surrealist network. Inv. Port. 2
