Frazier describes this as "after Derrydale". Connett was closely involved with the establishment of the Foundation and had an ongoing interest in its subsequent activities as well as long-standing ties of friendship and publishing with artist Paul Brown. He was subscriber no. 39 to this publication. The map is uncredited but Biscotti ascribes it to Brown.
