Sometimes that litho stone from eBay with the signature you can't quite make out—but has birds on it so why not—turns out to be an image by Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874-1927). Of course then one has to go find a copy of the print, too ...

Left: lithographic stone with pileated and downy woodpeckers. Right: print taken from the stone, with the woodpeckers facing the opposite direction. Both stone and print are sitting on a wooden table.

It has arrived! Thanks @jackbern.bsky.social and the whole Taskmaster team!

Photo of a book sitting on a wooden desk. The book is titled "An Absolute Casserole: The Taskmaster Compendium" (with the title appearing on the front of a classic Taskmaster task, complete with "TM" wax seal). Below the title task on the cover The Taskmaster sits in his big red throne, with famed the man who is the answer to the question "what happens when you throw chunks of pork at a revolving car wash brush?" (Little Alex Horne) grinning on his knee. Available at all good bookstores.
