"Coffee at Eleven" is a photopolymer intaglio print depicting a ..you guessed it - a cup of coffee! The title was inspired by my memory of an old Dublin song called "The Dublin Saunter (Dublin can be heaven)". Here is a verse of the lyrics:

For Dublin can be heaven
With coffee at eleven
And a stroll in Stephen's Green
There's no need to hurry
There's no need to worry
You're a king and the lady's a queen
Grafton Street's a wonderland
There's magic in the air
There's diamonds in the lady's eyes
And gold-dust in her hair
And if you don't believe me
Come and meet me there
In Dublin on a sunny Summer morning

The song was written by Patrick Leo Maguire (1903 – 17 December 1985) who was an Irish singer, songwriter, and radio broadcaster.
