This card depicts two colored photographs of a painting of the same country estate. The top one that is captioned, "An uninviting garden" is landscaped with plants. The bottom one that has been stripped of almost all of its landscaping and with a fence in front is captioned, "The same garden, supposedly improved by Strathclyde Region with the support of the Scottish Arts Council." The poem is a metaphor for Finlay's conflict over taxation of his gallery. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
