Hughes-Stanton was a major figure in English wood engraving in the twentieth society. He later went on to co-direct the Gregynog Press with his wife, Gertrude Hermes. The Ship of Death is one of Lawrence's most famous works regarding death, and refers to the ancient burial practice of placing a model ship in a tomb so as to carry a soul to heaven.
