My mother was a primary school teacher in the 1950s who displayed on her classroom walls sets of the Nature Plates drawn by Eileen Soper, together with Old and New Testament Bible Pictures. I have 59 out of 60 of the Nature Plates and both complete sets of 30 Bible pictures. The prints are approx 24x17ins and as they have all been wall-mounted at one time the edges have some marks, but the pictures are in good condition. In addition I have the 1949 reference book for the Old Testament plates and the 1952 book for the New Testament plates. I really hope there is someone out there who may be interested in acquiring these, some photographs could be provided as samples.

Re: Nature Plates and Bible Pictures
Could you put up some pictures of some of the nature plates?

Re: Nature Plates and Bible Pictures
According to Aussie Sue, when she purchased some from the UK some years ago she had to pay (unexpectedly) horrendous import duty, I think because they were regarded as art work not books, so take care Jomo.

Re: Nature Plates and Bible Pictures
The nature plates are featured in the cave - one in each of the Nature Readers.
