The grandaughter of Charles Darwin, Raverat studied at the Slade from 1908 to 1911 and went on to become a founder member of the Society of Wood Engravers (1920). In 1952 Raverat published her autobiography Period Piece - A Cambridge childhood', which includes references to her mother playing tennis in the 1880s with accompanying illustrations, including an engraving of a Victorian mixed doubles tennis match.
