⁂ The tipped-in letter in the first is a reply to an enquiry concerning the repetition of the January vignette for December, and whether another engraving was rejected. The publishers are unable to solve the matter as their records were lost during the war.
The second item was an advertising insert for the December 1924 edition of the Studio. It includes some of both Ravilious's and Bawden's earliest published designs, executed while they were still students at the Royal College of Art.
