Re: Tracing works by Ellis Palmer

While it's good to know that there are at least a couple of pieces of Ellis's work out there, I do wonder how they have become so camera-shy. Any ideas, Trev? (even personal messages have gone for naught - go figure)

best thing to do is to get precise sizes and leave them at your trusted antiques dealers.

there is a british company that supplies liners - very expensive, beginning their eBay auctions at almost USD30. they have an enormous supply - i am betting they do a tidy business.
