Production notes

The National Gallery of Victoria has a large collection of Penleigh Boyd prints and plates. On one impression inscribed '6a/', the former Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings, Ursula Hoff, has noted that it was a late impression printed by Cyril McClelland. This is probably a reference to Cyril Dillon, who is known to have printed other works by Boyd.
