DescriptionBased on the satirical short story by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Angel of the Odd" first published in 1844. A strange-looking creature made of a keg and wine bottles appears to an older man sitting in a blue and white stripe chair. The man has his legs on a yellow chair. There is an odd fan-like object to the left of the man's head. He is wearing a tan overcoat.This record has been reviewed by University Galleries staff but may be incomplete or contain errors.
