GALLIMAUFRY

The word Gallimaufry comes from an old French noun for ragout, but as the title of a Winter catalogue, only being issued just before Christmas and the festive season, it is also relevantly related to the old French verb to make merry.

MAY TREMEL Bradford 1882 – 1963 Tonbridge May Tremel studied at Goldsmiths’ College, at the Royal College of Art with Frank Short and in Frankfurt. She settled in London until the 1930’s.

Early morning on the Thames, Hammersmith 177 x 313 mm, Original etching, 1929. Signed in pencil. Entitled at the foot of the sheet. On cream wove paper. Sold

Synonyms of the word gallimaufry include array, assortment, diversity, motley collection and to retain the original food connection, salmagundi.

In short, this catalogue includes a very broad range of artists’ prints made from the end of the 15th century right up to this year.

It concludes with a small group of works by British women printmakers.
