Quote: "Shelducks, like Eider drakes or Avocets, are designed for linocutting. My first print of these handsome ducks was small and was made, whilst a student, for my 1961 Christmas card. I referred to the second, much larger print as my -poster advertising Shelducks-, as that is how it seemed to turn out."

Review: "Printmaking has, since childhood, been a major part of Robert Gillmor's artistic output. At school he was introduced to linocutting and it became a preferred printing medium. In Cutting Away, after describing his working methods, Robert writes of his inspiration behind the 90 prints illustrated. These often evoke memories which allow him to wander through autobiographical anecdotes. In the final section he demonstrates the use of linocuts for posters and book jackets, especially those he has designed for the prestigious New Naturalist series."
