PLATE

Printed in black ink on 8 x 12 cm piece of thick watermarked laid paper. In very good condition.

The illustration shows a bearded man in loincloth, trailing a sword along the ground as he runs from a tree. Printed beneath the illustration: 'With the compliments of | George Sims'. Above the illustration is typed 'for Tony & Jean', and below the printed text 'just before it was remaindered'.
