Footnote
Enid Marx completed her ABC alphabet of 27 prints in 1979, and they were occasionally included in exhibitions of her work. However, they were not re-produced in print until a special limited edition was produced by Graham Moss of Incline Press in 2000, after Marx's death in 1998.
This set, one of the original 1979 editions, is as Graham Moss says 'imbued with the joy and sense of fun that is so typical of her work'.
