Footnotes

Edith Lawrence was a painter, printmaker and interior designer. She studied at the Slade School of Art and exhibited at the Royal Academy, Society of Women Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours, as well as the Ward and Redfern galleries in London. She recorded her extensive travels in Europe in her paintings and prints, which included landscapes and urban scenes.
In 1922 she met fellow artist and her future companion Claude Flight, who introduced her to the art of linocut printing, which he was teaching at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art. The linocut was regarded as a democratic medium which was well suited to portraying modern life. Characterized by bright colours, bold shapes and rhythmic lines, the linocuts were printed by hand, allowing the artist to vary the colour density and texture to achieve the desired effect.
