Hello, I wonder if anyone can shed light on the origin of a print I have. I bought it second hand as a student in Leeds purely for the design as I didn't know it was by Tolkien. But then I read 'Bilbo' and recognised it from The Hobbit because my mum had talked about the book.
I can't find any info about the print and when it was originally sold apart from something that was posted on this site about an exhibition in the 70's in London. So maybe someone bought the print there and took it to Leeds to be mounted? Or was there also an exhibition in Leeds itself?

Slightly off topic of the poster but still mentioning Camden Graphics, I bought these sometime last year. I have the three sets of cards by GA&U from the 1970s but hadn’t seen these with white borders before. The phone number on the back would indicate these were made before the 01 dialling code for London changed, no later than 1995. What are peoples thoughts on their production? If mass produced I’ve not seen them before, so just private copies?
