Note: The inscription verso indicating the titled to be “Reflections” lets us know that this print was one of the earlier printed pieces from the edition. According to Tovell:
“Milne first titled the print ‘Reflections’ but by August 1941 he had settled on the title ‘ Still Water and Fish’ for both the watercolour and the prints.”
