Printed from four blocks in ochre, blue, blue-grey and brown-red, on tissue-thin japan.Lawrence was a prize-winning painting student at the Slade 1910-1914. She first exhibited in 1916, at the Royal Academy and with the New English Art Club. While working in Cornwall in 1920 she met Claude Flight, who from 1925 became her lifelong partner and associate. He presumably introduced her to linocut, which he had first broached in 1919, and would teach at the Grosvenor School 1926-30, organising annual exhibitions of colour linocuts from 1929-39. Edith Lawrence exhibited her independent linocuts in Flight’s exhibitions from 1929 until 1937.
