12 alphabets each printed in a different colour from the original wood blocks. One of 50 sets, each mounted and numbered 34/50 with the explanatory leaf all printed on Barcham Green paper. Housed in the original perspex box. Fine.
The inks were largely ground by hand from dry pigment and prepared varnish and several are different colours than those which appeared in the book of 1986.
