A portfolio of 25 original prints was created by members of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, 2018, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founder, Sir Francis Seymour Haden. Over 50 prints were submitted each inspired by a member of the RSPP and 25 were chosen for the portfolio by Mychael Barratt, President of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and Jennifer Ramkalawon, Curator in the Dept. of Prints and Drawings, British Museum. One of eight portfolios, all prints were produced in an edition of 15.
