I am slowly building up a collection of Virginia Turbett prints, in varying ways, either via buying prints directly from Virginia herself, or by investing in a copy of a Hanging Around photo book featuring her work. Below are the latest editions… The print of Bruce will be a wondefully prized possession now the man…
