Notes

Durham holds photocopy described above, which explains why I cannot describe the paper, or the stencilled decorations; original possibly in Cambridge U.L.

Not in Curwen Library or 1963 handlist; see Herbert Simon (Simon, 1973, p.217) on hand-coloured stencilling for Nonesuch Press; on the exhibition see Gilmour 1977 p.18, and Webb & Skipwith 2009 p.26.
