A very rare image of a named footballer in his club strip. Ginger made this print specifically for the 1953 Football & the Fine Arts Exhibition. It was printed in a edition of five or six, with all the other prints in private collections. In 1996, she signed this print, which had been in her plan chest since the 1950s.
Phyllis Ginger was a painter, printmaker and illustrator. Trained at Richmond School of Art 1932-35, she then attended the Central School of Art 1937-39. During the war, she was an unofficial war artist, later taking part in the Pilgrim Trust project of Recording Britain, and was commissioned to illustrate a number of books, including her own children's books. She became a member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1956. |
