Bradish submitted 2 of the cartoons and wrote on the cover "The First Copy Printed" and I think he acquired this copy because he worked as a proof reader for Caxton (BEA) P and P Co.

Bruce Rooken-Smith Historian and botanical tour-guide, John Bradish, 80, was found dead in Lady Grey home. 3 Feb 2016: Translation from Afrikaans: The body of an elderly man was found Tuesday afternoon in his house in Lady Grey after he had not been seen for two days. John Bradish, a resident who had lived in Lady Grey for many years, still visited his neighbour and friend Arthur Cross about two houses away on Sunday. that's the last time he was seen alive. His body was discovered at around 14h10 by the local police. They confirmed that they have opened a murder docket. A friend in Lady Grey, Dalene Swanepoel Oertel writes: "Today I received the sad news that a very dear friend of mine was brutally murdered. He was one of those people who never grew old and had friends across all age categories. He had not lived in Lady Grey that long but made it his business to know its history and he shared his knowledge in a very professional manner .with all who were interested; one could listen to him for hours - so fascinating. He shared his knowledge with me and I shared my knowledge with him and in the process we became great friends.He also arranged botanical tours of which I had the privilege to attend one. What a great person and I will surely miss him.
