- REP-PC

"Eurich became a regular and popular exhibitor with the Society for Education in Art [S.E.A.] which held its shows at the Tate or Whitechapel. This painting which recently came to light on the walls of a Bradford primary school is almost certainly one of these exhibits, very few others of which have come to light since then."

- Nicholas Usherwood from ‘The Edge of All the Land’ 1994
