- Description:
- Laurence Housman’s illustrations of Christina Rossetti’s poem were engraved by his sister Clemence Housman. Both Housmans were socialists, writers, and artists. Together they founded the Suffrage Atelier and worked closely with the Women’s Social and Political Union. Gloria Cardew, whose label is on the front pastedown, was a prolific hand-colorist of book illustration, often working for the Guild of Women-Binders, as well as the Kelmscott and Vale Presses. Little is known of her. It is thought that her name is a pseudonym, though her photograph was published in the 1898 exhibition catalogue of the Guild of Women-Binders (also present in the collection).
