- Text from Frances Carey & Antony Griffiths, 'Avant-Garde British Printmaking 1914-1960', BMP 1990, no.183.
This was also included in the July 1952 exhibition at Adrian Heath's studio and in the exhibition of the same year at the Redfern Gallery, where it was no. 164, priced at 5 guineas. The British Museum's impression is not numbered, but another one shown in the Annely Juda Gallery exhibition of 1987 (no. 107) indicated that the edition was of 10.
Additional Comment:
A letter from the artist's son Paul Martin to Frances Carey dated 18.7.90 states that he believes that his father printed his linocuts at home.
