Object history
E.207 to E.212-1976 were printed by John Henn of the Camberwell School of Art at the time of Alexander Postan's Exhibition 'Britain's contribution to Surrealism'. Banting did not publish any of the prints at the time of making the blocks and took few impressions, most of which were cut up and used as collage elements in other work.
