EDITORS COMMENTS
This Colour Woodcut print of Trafalgar Square in London is a stunning example of the Oriental-inspired style of Florence Mary Anderson, also known as Molly MacArthur. Born in 1893, Anderson was a prolific illustrator who began her career creating highly-decorative fairy art. However, in the middle of the 1920s, she made a significant shift in her artistic approach, moving towards the production of beautiful monotone woodcuts. The image showcases Trafalgar Square, a famous public space in the heart of London. The iconic landmarks of the square, including the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Admiralty Arch, are depicted in intricate detail. The centerpiece of the composition is the Lion Statue at Trafalgar Square, which stands proudly atop its column, symbolizing the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Anderson's Oriental-inspired style is evident in the delicate, fluid lines and the rich, bold colors used in this print. The muted tones and the intricate patterns create an ethereal and dreamlike atmosphere, transporting the viewer to another world. The influence of Eastern art is apparent in the way Anderson has depicted the figures and the architectural details, adding an exotic and alluring touch to the scene. This artwork, produced under the name Molly MacArthur or F.M. MacArthur, is a testament to Anderson's artistic versatility and her ability to adapt to new styles and techniques. The Colour Woodcut print of Trafalgar Square, London, is a beautiful and unique representation of a beloved city landmark, and a must-have for any collection of vintage prints or illustrations.
