That individual numbers have their own characteristics and qualities has been a consequence of this attitude towards cosmic order and they present themselves as symbols of an ordered movement from the invisible to the visible universe&apos.Produced by the Pembridge Design Studio, a small private press in London that operated in the 1980s and early 90s, and who typically made books in very small editions of around two-hundred.With the inscription of Walter Brew, July 1985 to the head of the title page.
