~ MABEL ROYDS ~
| MABEL ROYDS British 1874-1941 Royds studied art at the Slade School in London, but it was her extensive world travels and her friendships with artists such as Morley Fletcher and Walter Sickert that influenced her the most as an artist. In 1913 she married the etcher Ernest Lumsden, and together they traveled throughout Europe, the Mideast and India, which served as subject matter for many of her woodcuts. Simply cut on sixpenny Woolworth breadboards and hand inked, her prints have a freshness that contrasts with many of the more conservative British prints of the time. Her earliest prints date before 1910, while the Indian subjects were made from 1920-30 and the floral prints from 1933-38. |
