All the patterns have been printed on Beatrice my Model No.11 Farley proofing press using Monotype border units 1348.

The border unit was designed by Jack Townend & released by the Monotype Corporation in 1958. Townend who was born in Bingley, West Yorkshire, taught graphic design, lithography & printmaking at the Ruskin School of Art at the time the units were designed (1952-1961). Townend is also known for writing & illustrating a number of children’s books - A Railway ABC, Jenny the Jeep, Ben & A Story about Ducks…

The borders were cast by Jessie Reich at the Three Ton Bridge Foundry of Skaneateles, New York.
