Roy Davies began wood engraving in 1921 and with his first published print, Cattleman’s Hut. At that time, Lionel Lindsay was also beginning to work in the wood engraving technique, and through the illustrator David Barker, Lindsay contacted Davies and invited him to his studio. In 1923 Davies then exhibited 12 wood engravings at Tyrrell’s Limited, Elizabeth Street, Sydney, in an Exhibition of Woodcuts.
