Costermongers were London fruit and vegetable sellers; Richards found them a source of inspiration for many years, first making linocuts of them in 1939, and printing this lithograph himself at the Royal College of Art in 1952. He said that the woman portrayed here; wasn’t a person really, but had become like a marvellous bouquet of flowers.’
