| Object history | 'This and the following lithographs are from a series of sayings, originally drawn in pen, and then lithographed as outline and hand coloured in varying ways. A book was produced entitled Graphic Sayings, published by David Kindersley and Christopher Skelton, Cambridge. Christopher Skelton printed the lithographs from David Kindersley’s original drawings; in the book the images appear as line on one colour, but the present set of prints are all hand coloured both with ground colour and in the letter forms. The sayings were collected from the books of Idries Shah, and the numbers quoted here in brackets refer to their appearance in the book.' [Taken from Departmental Circulation Register 1972] |
