Hilda M Quick
An early student of Noel Rooke Hilda Quick was known for the social realism of he work. She also used her wood engravings for book illustration including a number of books on bird life around the Scilly Isles where she lived. She did some commercial work including costume design and publicity for the Minack Theatre in Cornwall. Her wood engraving "End of Term at the Rookery" gives an indication of the atmosphere experienced by students in Rooke's wood engraving class. Her family donated a collection of her work in 2000 which is available for research.
