Millicent Jackson
School: Central School of Arts & Crafts
Millicent Jackson most probably studied under Noel Rooke at the Central School around 1918-19. Her impressionist-style wood engraving, Houses in Hilly Country, was admired by Malcolm Salaman, who reproduced it in an influential Studio publication, Modern Woodcuts and Lithographs by British and French Artists (1919). Herbert Furst also recognized her 'good naturalistic work' in The Modern Woodcut (1924). She exhibited with the SWE in 1922 and 1923. Here wood engraving 'Boy with a Dolphin' appeared in Change II (1919), one of the first 20th-century periodicals to contain modern white-line wood engravings.
