- Text:
- Monica Rawlins was a poster designer, portrait painter and woodcut artist. She studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts under Leon Underwood between 1925 and 1928, designing this single poster for the LCCT in 1926. She left her diaries to the National Library of Wales which span the majority of her life (with gaps) beginning at the age of seven in 1910 and ending two years before her death in 1990. A short BBC Radio 4 drama based on diaries entitled 'Writing the Century: The View from the Windows' was released in 2015.
