• Notes:
  An American etcher and engraver. She is best known for her colour etching process and woodblock prints reflecting Japanese women and children characterisations. In Japan, Helen Hyde learned the Japanese woodblock printing techniques from masters such as Emil Orlik, a European living in Japan. Hyde resided in Japan from 1903 through 1913 and refined colour woodblock printing to a fine art. During this time, Hyde also traveled extensively to China, India, & Mexico. In 1914, Hyde left Japan and took up residency in the United States until her death in 1919. In its tribute to Hyde, The American Magazine of Art remarked: There is a charm about her rendition of children, whether they be Japanese, Chinese, Mexican or American, which gives token to her sympathy with childhood; and with her passing has gone from the world of life of cheerfulness and courage and high purpose which, like a flower of sweet fragrance, has added beauty to life.
