BIOGRAPHY: Mabel Royds was born in Bedfordshire. She studied art study at the progressive Slade School in London. After spells in Paris and Toronto from 1900, she returned to Britain in 1911 to teach at the Edinburgh College of Art.
Her colleagues included the Scottish Colourists J.D.Fergusson and S.J.Peploe and the etcher E.S.Lumsden.
Royds married Lumsden in 1913. 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.
Royds died in Edinburgh in 1941.
