FERREA VIRGA EST/STAY-SAIL. TWO JAMPOT COVERS. WHITE PAPER. 1977.
£65.00
Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1977
16 x 30cm, 1pp black on white paper with a design for jam pot covers (the printed paper placed on the outside of jam lids). The design here is of two sundials. The text on the first has FERREA VIRGA EST/UMBRATILIS MOTUS (which Finlay slightly takes liberties and translates as “Stainless steel gnomon/porcelain hour”) and “STAY-SAIL” on the second. The first describes the light on the imagined sundial and the latter is a reference to the voyage of a ship. Murray has this as 7.9 and seems to not know there were two variants in design and colour of paper.
