She painted a number of local pub signs between 1916 and 1923 when she and Lytton Stratchey were living at Tidmarsh Mill - not a million miles away from Newbury. It is stylistically very similar to The Roebuck she painted at Tilehurst in 1922.emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132384281028906676noreply@blogger.com
