The one mentioned below is 'For A Song' an artist's book I made in 1980 in the throes of deep emotional experience. Seven poems and seven etchings in a hand-bound book, limited edition of 15 copies. Full details here:

"This month saw an upgrade and refresh to some of the displays in the
British Library Treasures Gallery. These changes include a completely
new case exhibiting Contemporary Artists’ Books. I am delighted to
inform you your work For a Song, (1980) RF.2017.a.10 has been
included in this case and is currently on display. The case is part of a
larger exhibition sub-section exploring the “Art of the Book”.
As you will know the Treasures Gallery exhibits some of the world’s most exciting, beautiful and significant books, manuscripts and sound recordings. It also the principle way many of the Library’s thousands of visitors annually will experience the Library Collections."

Good for you, not for him. Doesn't distinguish between -le and -al.
I had noticed the spelling error immediately but thought it would be churlish to point it out since the message was such good news and the messenger such a nice person.
I'm usually pedantic about such mistakes because in school I was very good at spelling. Frequent mistakes (sometimes even in headlines) in the press are infuriating but I blame it on digital printing. Never used to happen in...wait for it...the good old days of typesetting.
Even less likely when carved on tombstones.
