The Raven

A winged, haloed youthful figure sits in the centre of a gilded, outspread wing arrangement, holding a torch in one hand and resting the other on a knee. The pale grey-green ground frames the figure with stylised architectural columns, a gate-like panel, and the title lettering across the top.
