From page 5: "This work commemorates exactly 8,971 years of weird notions about artists. It is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Mrs. G. H. Gilbert who made famous the phrase '...and they all (blush,blush) had terrible bladders' and also to the Reverend Moses Harvey's sponge-bath in St. John's Newfoundland over which he draped the head, arms, and tentacles of the first giant squid to be scientifically examined. Together, they form that perfect marriage of science and art so fugitive and elusive in our time."
