Gladys - Limited Edition Lino Print (hand-coloured)
'Gladys' Unframed Limited Edition Lino Print (hand-coloured) by Sally Heinrich, from her Local Icons series.
"Miss Gladys Sym Choon’s is well known since the 80s' amongst Adelaide’s most trendy and style-conscious... Gladys was the first woman in SA to run a business in her own right at only 16. She travelled regularly to China to buy her stock, which included embroidered silks and lingerie, carved ebony and eggshell china, cloisonné and exquisitely hand-worked table linen. Her father bought four shops in Rundle Street East, one for each of his children. Dorothy leased hers, but George and Gordon ran similar businesses selling all sorts of things including matches and chewing gum, homemade pickles, nuts and ice cream. In the lead up to Guy Fawkes the people of Adelaide would queue to buy fireworks."
