Eight folded leaves in concertina with original hand-drawn lithographs by the artist Alan Powers. 89 x 63 cm folded to 99 x 68 mm. in original stiff card envelope. "500 copies, lithographs hand-drawn at the Curwen Studio and printed by Adrian Lack at the Senecio Press, December 1986, for private distribution by the publisher Peter Sampson and the artist Alan Powers"- colophon.  Fold-out Christmas card featuring charming, hand-drawn lithographs of imaginary shop fronts. Produced by Merivale Editions, it represents a collaboration with the Curwen Studio, ensuring high-quality artistic production for its limited run of 500 copies.  OCLC, 34764911. WorldCat locates three copies worldwide (Oxford, Delaware, and Occidental College University Libraries). This ephemeral work was designed as a small, foldable Christmas card, highlighting detailed, intimate illustrations. This scarcity makes it a desirable collector's item. The content features charming illustrations of "imaginary shop fronts," evoking a sense of nostalgia, similar to the branding of the "Quality Street" chocolates which aimed for a sentimental, old-fashioned feel. The name Quality Street came from a play written by J.M. Barrie, who would later go on to write children's classic Peter Pan. The original project started at a lunch meeting in 1986, where Powers was commissioned for other prints, and the Christmas card idea was developed as a creative use of an offcut from the standard-sized paper, demonstrating an efficient and innovative use of materials.
