- Notes:
- "This first retrospective of Shirley Smith's wood engravings is by Sir Laurence Whistler (1912-2000), the brother of Rex Whistler (1905-1944), who remarks, 'It needs only a glance through these pages to discover that here is an artist whose scope is not narrow. With equal skill he handles the charming simplicities of doll's house furniture, portraits, houses, food, insects, animals, flowers--and scenes of imagination. In the end it is the last-named that catches and holds the attention. He seems to have discovered his true gift while interpreting, or simply responding to, poetry."--Moss.
"Seven copies on Hosho and 180 copies on Basingwerk Parchment have been printed by DAvid Chambers at the Cuckoo Hill Press, Ravelston, South View Road, Pinner, Mx, England."--Colphon.
