New Autumn Group

This rather obscure Group was formed in November 1925 and comprised 21 members. Its inaugural exhibition was held at the Gieves Galleries in Old Bond Street, London during the 2nd fortnight of that year. Members who were located in the area around St. John's Wood, were engaged in almost every kind of decorative art form encompassing, book illustrations, poster design, miniatures, woodcuts, stone, marble, stained glass and theatrical costumes. Members included Florence Asher, Violet Barnewall, Lorna Burgoyne, Dorothy Burroughs, Dora Clarke, Cyril Cole, Mabel D. Cole, Sefton Fish, Claude Flight, Winifred Hardman, Hilda Hechle, Adrian Hill, Reginald Higgins, Kirkland Jamieson, Reginald Leefe, Edith Lipscombe, Violet Baber Mimpriss, Miss G. Parry-Jones, Marian Peart and Eric Schilsky. Drawing & Design Magazine and Studio International issues for November 1925 printed articles on the Group. As yet I have not found any evidence of a 2nd exhibition.
