The Jolly Boatman Suzanne Einzig Autolithograph from her 1945 book, Mary Belinda and The Ten Aunts, her first book. She later rocketed to fame with The Secret Garden, but for this she worked on five separations on zinc plates, so cold in the winter if 1944 that she had to draw in gloves with the tips of the fingers cut off to hold the litho crayons. When her breath condensed on the cold plates it made the crayons skid! Winner of several awards and exhibited in the 1946 Britain Can Make It Exhibition. #suzanneeinzig #susaneinzig #marybelinda #autolithography #noelcarrington #boatman https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXOQspAGGg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=on8batt9yxlt
