DORIS ZINKEISEN CAMBRIDGE.
39 1/2x49 1/2 inches. Haycock Press, London.
Condition B+: creases and wrinkles in margins and image.
Born in Scotland, Doris and her sister Anna both studied at the Royal Academy. They were both poster artists and their work "concentrated on events from history" (Railway p. 141). Doris "did much work for the stage, designing both sets and costumes" (ibid p. 158). Not only does Zinkeisen present a window into history, depicting Queen Elizabeth's visit to Queen's College in 1564, but she reveals her own personal interest in stage design, presenting the tableaux between drawn curtains.
