Elyse Ashe Lord. 1900-1971. She developed her unique artistic style exclusively around oriental subject matter. Her art inspired by both chinese art and various aspects of oriental culture. Although she never actually travelled to china. she used chinese paintings, embroideries and wall hangings, together with objests from surrounding eastern countries, as the sources for her images. The highly individual style which lord created reflects both this source material and the influences of art deco and early 1920's fashion.
In particular. Lord is unusual in combining the technique of drypoint with woodcut colour printing. She uses drypoint design almost as the Japanese would have used a block in multiple block colour printing. The colours would then be added by over-printing the drypoint design using colour-inked wood blocks, precisely as displayed by this unique series of progressive proofs. Lord would always supervise the difficult process of printing her plates in person.
It is numbered, titled and signed at the bottom with what looks like a poem to the right side.
