Note:
In a transcribed copy of the review in The Times, accompanying this lot, the author notes: “The best of the designs such as “The Holy Grail” of which a proof has been bought by the Contemporary Art Society, are symmetrical. These pictures, difficult to describe in words, are well worth seeing”
