Dylan Thomas, Kim Novak, and James Joyce, from Peter Blake.
Speaking of Peter Blake, who worked with Cooper on the design of the Sgt Pepper cover, item 10 is a print of his Dylan Thomas, Kim Novak, and James Joyce in New York, from 2013. Why these three I do not know, but the image is riveting (shown on this page). Blake is one of Britain's best known pop artists, building a reputation even before the 1960's revolution and still going today though having passed the age of 80. £2,000 (US $3,261).
