Gwenda Morgan (01.02.1908 - 09.01.1991): the text of the obituary in the Independent:

“Her wood-engravings with their downland farms and villages and the people and animals that inhabit them portray a way of life which has all but vanished as tractors and silos have displaced horses and hayricks.”

“Her engravings reminded him (Christopher Sandford) of romantic scenes in needlework, embroidery and tapestry. There is a sense of order and formality in her work that does indeed bring such scenes to mind, and the apparent simplicity of her composition and technique disguised a sure eye and a firm hand with the engraving tool.”
