CHILDHOOD is one of Francesca Allinson’s most personal and reflective works, offering insight into early 20th-century childhood, memory, and identity.
The seven wood-engraved chapter headings by Enid Marx highlight the intersection of literature and visual arts, common in Hogarth Press editions.
Enid Marx became one of Britain’s leading textile designers, with her work held in institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, and she was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her contributions to design.
