The colophon includes a printed ex libris for Dudley Wilson by Leo Wyatt as a tribute to the artist who had just died.
"This book was designed and printed by David Esslemont on a Columbian press. The edition consists of 250 copies on Zerkall mould-made paper."--Colophon.
"Shirley Smith is here represented by his wood engraving 'Thais'. Bain assigns it no. 257 for its appearance in David Burnett's Vines (1984), although it clearly predates that printing. The exhibition which this collection of wood engravings accompanied was a tribute to the growing interest in wood engraving in the North East of England. It was a joint venture sponsored partly by the Durham Light Infantry Museum and Arts Centre and partly by Collingwood College in the University of Durham."--Moss.
