Item description from seller

First edition, printed on G. F. Smith Zen Pure paper using a lithographic press, hand-bound in linen (to resemble the artist's original sketchbook), and limited to 250 numbered copies (this being #16). Landscape 4to. [51pp]. With repeating colour-decorated endpapers, a decorated title page ("We Went to Wien and wished we hadn't. Summer 1962"), and twenty-nine full-page or double-spread colour drawings. A minute indentation to the upper board, else a fine copy housed within the original decorated folding cardboard box, which is very slightly rubbed and creased. Laid-in, as issued, are various ephemeral items including two bookmarks, five bookplates based on a design by the artist, a sheet of colour stickers reproducing a selection of wine bottle labels found housed within the original sketchbook, and an enamel pin badge (which was probably the cause on the tiny upper board indentation). A super copy of this reproduction of Gardiner's sketchbook recording her 1962 summer holiday European camping adventures with colleagues from Bournemouth School for Girls.…
