About MeEight cards with printed illustrations, contained within a folded card wrapper. All but the first and final cards are illustrated and printed in black and red ink with the title "Errata of Ovid" and the prefixes "for" and "read". The first card is printed with the title, publisher and names of the collaborating artists; the final card explains that the work was printed by the Stellar Press for the Wild Hawthorn press and is one of only 300 copies. This work is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend and sent her an example of each new poem print and multiple as it was made.
