The original picture was taken by Fran Bourne in Washington DC in 2007. The overall effect for this cover shot (British Infertility Counseling Journal 2010) is accomplished using a faux serigraph technique using black and white images that were then hand cut and individually colored using Pastel. The multiple images are mounted on cork board, edged in gold leaf, and fixed with a sealant. The repeat effect is symbolic of the persistence and endurance it takes to accomplish great things and a reflection of the passage of years between Robert Edwards accomplishment and receipt of his due. Any anxious allusion to cloning is in the eye of the beholder.
