- The first of a portfolio of twenty-one plates printed at the Slade School of Fine Art in 1988. The plates were all made by students or teachers at the Slade, and all are prints with the exception of one photograph (by Cliff Haynes). The plates are all on sheets of paper uniform size, and are housed in a red commercially-available portfolio, with the title stencilled on it. There is a preliminary sheet that lists the artists, and states that 'The paper for the 1988 Slade Portfolio was generously donated by John Purcell Paper / Printed at the Slade in an edition of thirty'. The set was not made for any particular anniversary or purpose, or indeed for sale; most copies were retained by the artists. This set was acquired by Murray Watson, the partner of the donor who worked at UCL, on publication.
