This is an original signed 1923 wood engraving by Gwen Raverat (1885-1957); showing a Barber's Shop in Vence, a small town near Nice, in the south of France.
Gwen Raverat's wood engravings made in Vence are perhaps among her loveliest; unfortunately, the Provence climate played havoc with the woodblocks, so these exquisite works can never again be printed directly from the block.
Given that no further prints can come from her original woodblocks - this print is a rather rarer one; especially as it is also inscribed with the title (in French) and signed in pencil, below

Gwen Darwin was born in Cambridge, England in 1885. She was part of the influential Darwin-Wedgwood family & granddaughter of the naturalist Charles Darwin.
One of the first women to go to art college in England: she went to the Slade in 1908. She was one of the founding members of the Society of Wood Engravers and was instrumental in the 20th-century revival of the medium.
