About:
Mabel Allington Royds (1874–1941) was an English artist best known for her woodcuts. She grew up in Liverpool. At age fifteen, Royds was awarded a scholarship to attend the Royal Academy in London but instead decided on the Slade School, where she studied under the tutelage of Henry Tonks. Royds moved to Paris, where she trained with the painter and printmaker Walter Sickert. She then went to Canada, where she taught at the Havergal College in Toronto for several years. In 1911, Royds settled in Edinburgh, where she taught at the Edinburgh College of Art, then under the directorship of Frank Morley Fletcher, under whose influence she took up making colour woodcuts. In 1913, she married the etcher Ernest Lumsden, who also taught in Edinburgh. They travelled through Europe, the Middle East, and India together. In 1921, Royds exhibited at the newly-formed Society of Graphic Art in London.
