We are auctioning the complete set of these fine designs, as listed in Stevenson; 'Beauty and Violence' series 14, #s 1 to 8, plus two apparently previously unknown designs from this superb early set. Any assistance with the identification of the warriors in #9 and 10 would be gratefully received. This design shows two armoured warriors fighting violently at the foot of a rocky outcrop, foliage above them. This design appears to be, like the last lot, previously unrecorded.
