Very few of Drury’s later prints were published. The objective of The Memorial Portfolio was to make a selection of these wonderful prints available in a way which had not been possible during his lifetime. The portfolio is in blue buckram with red labels. 21 1/2 x 18 3/4 inches. Six plates were carefully selected for their state of preservation as well as the quality of the images. They were printed by Anthony Dyson using old stocks of paper accumulated over the years by Drury’s friend, Robin Tanner. Fine set.
