"The House-top" is a color woodcut print by the British artist Mabel Allington Royds (1874–1941), known for her contributions to the revival of color woodcut printmaking in the early 20th century. Royds, who was influenced by the Japanese ukiyo-e style, developed a distinctive technique that involved the use of bold colors and simplified forms to depict various subjects, ranging from religious themes to everyday life scenes.

Created during a period when Royds was actively producing woodcuts, "The House-top" exemplifies her interest in capturing the essence of a moment or scene through a stylized representation. The work is characterized by its vibrant palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which was a common feature in Royds' prints. The composition likely portrays a view from above, as suggested by the title, focusing on the rooftops of buildings, which was a motif that allowed for exploration of geometric patterns and the relationship between the man-made environment and the natural world.

As with many of Royds' prints, "The House-top" reflects her skill in the woodcut medium and her ability to convey a sense of place and atmosphere. The print may have been produced in a limited edition, as was typical of her work, and would have been part of the portfolio of prints that she exhibited and sold during her lifetime.

Mabel A. Royds was a significant figure in the British Arts and Crafts movement and her work has been collected and exhibited by various institutions. "The House-top" remains an important piece within her oeuvre, demonstrating her artistic vision and the techniques that made her woodcuts distinctive and influential in the context of 20th-century printmaking.
