Minchin, J., Thea Proctor - The Prints, Resolution Press, Sydney, 1980, cat. no. 26 (illus., p.75, another example)
"A prominent tastemaker and promoter of modern design, Thea Proctor contributed to the development of modernism in Australia through her work as a painter, printmaker, designer, and teacher. Favouring cosmopolitan female figures and a local subject matter infused with the ambience of the global, her varied body of work exudes the stylised elegance and distinctive features underpinning Sydney modernism in the 1920s."
(Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney)
Other examples of this print are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; and Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth.
