From 1930 to July 1938 Sybil Andrews shared a studio with British artist Cyril Power, a fellow member of the Grosvenor School. This informal working partnership produced an extraordinary body of work for both artists and some of the finest prints of the 1930s. Flower Girls is one of these sought-after images produced during this time. Stephen Coppel notes, "The repeated angular shapes and colour patterns give dynamic energy to this study of movement."

Early impressions of this print are on buff oriental laid paper and late impressions are on thicker oriental paper. This is a fine impression with strong colours on thicker oriental paper.
