Frank Alford – Workers Strike, etching with drypoint on laid paper, signed and dated 1921 in pencil, sheet size 46.5cm x 29.5cm, together with a large quantity of other etchings by the same hand and a woodcut by H.G. Webb after Frank Brangwyn, ‘Picking Fruit’. Note: Frank Alford was a Welsh artist, architect and property developer, who worked as Frank Brangwyn’s studio assistant from 1918-1922. Alford played a key role in projects such as Jefferson City, Selfridges, South African Stations of the Cross, and the Japanese Art Gallery. During his time with Brangwyn, Alford kept a compelling diary, and his remarkable skills and aptitude led to him being praised by Brangwyn as 'the best assistant I ever had.'
