A nice find in the King's College London Archives here
'Design by Ronald Searle for Adam International Review.
Adam International Review was a literary magazine published in English and French, (its title, ADAM, an acronym for Arts, Drama, Architecture and Music) and edited by Miron Grindea (1909 - 1995).
Its archive is held by King's College Archives.
The illustration was published in 1949 and shows Grindea (as Adam) with TS Eliot as a guardian angel, defending Adam from critics including Cyril Connolly.'
Searle later caricatured T.S.Eliot again for Punch magazine's 'Heroes of Our Time'.
Searle used the William Blake-like 'avenging angel' motif on several occasions throughout his career.
'ADAM AND EVE AND THE FLAMING SWORD OF P.C.'
