Rare Talwin Morris Design

Blackie's Commercial Course of Writing and Book Keeping

A Vere Foster Writing Copy-Book


Found recently, this is a rare copy of one of 'Vere Foster's Writing Copy- Books' with covers designed by Talwin Morris. Very difficult to date, but it would be interesting to find out if there are any other booklets designed by Talwin.
