| Description | This A4 format card mount holds 3 pieces by Hilda Margaret Whitaker née Hodge. The first, to the left of the mount, is an original working of a woman carrying a bundle of clothes and a girl giving a cat some milk, rendered in gouache and mixed media with pencil annotations. The colour palette used is red, white and blue, in contrast to the smaller proof print with pencil annotations on the right, which shows the same scene but in a red and green colour scheme. The 3rd piece is on the reverse: this proof is the same as the red and green print on side 1 excluding the annotations. The illustration on page 34 of the published book corresponds to these preparatory works. |
