Several of John's etchings feature decorative hats and headgear, and this is one of the most appealing of these. This fine impression with full margins was one of an edition of fifty signed copies, published by the Chenil Gallery in November 1919. John made three etched portraits of the same young woman in 1913-14, shortly before the outbreak of World War I. The plates remained unpublished until after the war.
