Founts & Circumstance was sold out on publication, and we now have only a few copies of one broadsheet left for sale – Henry King’s “A Contemplation upon Flowers”. Since this was hand-coloured, we printed a good number of extras against error, but CE’s hand proved steadier than we imagined! The sheet is shown below with a thumbnail illustration which can be enlarged by clicking on it. The broadsheet measures 15 by 22 1/4 inches. Please note that we are offering it at a special reduced price.
