Description
"Helen Hay was a highly skilled arts-and-crafts practitioner whose designs played an important role in creating The Evergreen: A Northern Seasonal (1895-96/7) and realizing its socio-political mission of revitalizing Edinburgh Old Town specifically, and Scottish culture more broadly, through the renewal of Celtic ornament and its applications (See General Introduction to The Evergreen). Despite her significant artistic contributions to the architecture of The Evergreen’s printed page and Edinburgh’s built environment, however, Helen Hay remains a largely unknown Scottish designer." - Biography by Kooistra on the Yellow 90s website.
