ABRAHAM A SANTA CLARA. 1991.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1991
5.4 x 9.5cm, 4pp. A scythe is evolved into a Nazi SS symbol in place of the blade. Drawing by Gary Hincks. Inside is a long text written by a 17th century Monk Abraham a Sancta Clara who compares death as a reaper, a gardener, a player and thunderbolt which not only strikes down the poor but also the powerful. The alteration in the design of the blade not only reminds one of the origin of the SS symbol and the German fascist interest in Nordic origins but also the aggression and death that they brought to the world.

This is a variant on a very similar card (with the same name and text) which Finlay issued in a lager size. VG+.
