    Notes
    • In portfolio. Includes additional title sheet.
    • "In September 1966 a group of graphic design students at the Bath Academy of Art at Corsham began a postal collaboration with Ian Hamilton Finlay in Scotland. The scheme developed almost accidentally out of a previous (but still unpublished) series of Headlines/Pondlines for which John Furnival had done linocuts. Furnival's small daughter Eve sent Finlay the Flying Scotsman, complete with wings and kilt, now reproduced in varnish on the outside of the present portfolio. Finlay replied with thirteen postcards to Eve which arrived on consecutive days to form the series of Eavlines. Furnival took these to Corsham, where he teaches, and handed them over to thirteen students to print, using a variety of techniques and the school's own presses, under Finlay's distant eye"--Title sheet verso.
