Notes
Shown RCA Degree Show 1980. Shown Gallery 52, 1981. "This print also refers to the 'Royal Crest' and the Reef-eaters. It is placed on the same tartan that lines Burberry coats, so its about being very English. It is not a print that has survived well because of it's terrible title. The working proofs that are included in this portfolio are more exciting and in a way used an example of how the final 'set' print can loose a lot in the process.
