A commemoration of the Queen Elizabeth's visit · July 9th 1965
This is one of Carr's 'longsheets': a sheet of drawings of the spires and steeples of churches in Northamptonshire.
It is likely that there are two editions. The copy in the British Library is printed in black ink and on a larger sheet than the copy illustrated below, which is printed in greenish ink on a smaller sheet and is probably a later edition. It is listed in the British Library catalogue thus: a sheet illustrating the 'spirits and steeples' of Northamptonshire, which might have amused Carr.
