520 |a David Jones's paratextual frontispiece and tailpiece illustrations to In Parenthesis are among the most recognisable of all his artworks, depicting a soldier, and wounded ram respectively. Scholarship on Jones has often only fleetingly considered these artworks in relation to the poem and as artworks in their own right, and recognized the eschatological theme evident in both. The apparently peripheral character of paratext however has contributed to these artworks never having received prolonged study. It has been exacerbated by the editorial decision to frequendy omit the illustrations from subsequent editions of the poem. This paper argues that the frontispiece and tailpiece situate the poem in an apocalyptic context. By bringing together the written word of the poem, additional paratextual concerns including the preface and epilogue consisting of six scriptural quotations, and most importandy, the adorning illustrations, it is possible to identify an apocalyptic dimension to Jones's complex sign making.
