Catalogue Note

Constructed in an edition of 12, this series is based on a much smaller work of the same title. The enlarged edition (three times the size of the original) came about at the suggestion of Henry Gilbert at the Wills Lane Gallery, St Ives, who had them made up to Wells' specification by a professional model maker in Cambridge.
