This lively and delicate felt tip drawing by printmaker Helena Markson depicts Faulkner Square in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter, with the Liverpool Cathedral’s tower visible in the background. This work was most probably created during the 1960s, when Markson was commissioned by the architect and town planner Graeme Shankland to produce the ‘Liverpool Suite’ of prints about the city of Liverpool. In 1969, Markson showed this drawing and a number of prints at a Ben Uri exhibition alongside Sandra Blow, Henry Inlander, Leon Kossoff and Archibald Ziegler.
