Contributors were asked to produce 100 copies 'of an idea' which would fit in the envelope. With works by John Furnival (signed silkscreen in green and yellow, 30 x 29 cm, creasing on edges), Peter Berry, Richard Chadwick, Trevor Denning, Anthony Everitt, Martin Fuller, Eric Glithero, Stuart Mills, David Prentice, Eric Rimmington, Sylvani Smith and Nic Stoddard. Incl. an unidentified tiny envelope containing 36 b/w silver gelatin prints, 4 x 2.7 cm each, depicting scenes from the March 1968 anti-Vietnam War protest at Trafalgar Square London. Inserted works in fine state, envelope shows edge wear.
