"Mummers"


1955
(approx. 15”h by 22”w)
Tempera on panel.


NOTE:  In 1952 Macmillan published KALYB THE WITCH, a book of puppet plays by Cox, all of which were derived from British folk plays, such as the Mummer’s Play. Mummers often appear in Cox’s work, tho this painting is an early appearance. See also ‘Mummer Queen’ (1983) and the Virtual Facsimile of the Gogmagog Press volume MUMMERS’ FOOL (1965).
