For their honeymoon, they travelled to Bombay. They returned to India the following year and in 1916 the two of them journeyed through the Himalayas, painting as they went. Throughout the 1920s her prints, nearly always woodcuts, were often of Indian subjects based on images from her travels. Unable to afford pear woodblocks for her woodcuts, she famously made them instead from sixpenny breadboards that she bought from Woolworths. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRoyds died in Edinburgh in 1941.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53569582006651,"sku":"MUSSELURGH HANGING ON WALL","price":325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/scottish-art-1920s-colour-woodcut-by-mabel-allington-royds-1874-1941-the-forge-british-prints-527.webp?v=1781215658","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/scottish-art-1920s-colour-woodcut-by-mabel-allington-royds-1874-1941-the-forge","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
