The following text is taken from a catalogue that accompanied the publishing of a suite of prints in 1960 by the St.George's Gallery London.

The prominent print publisher Robert Erskine ran the gallery in London's Cork Street from 1952 until 1962.

‘Perrin. . . belongs to the ‘new wave’ of printmakers whose need for an expert medium is expressed by a considerable output of very high quality. They seem to have discovered the process for themselves, without encouragement from outside and to have undertaken their own experiments from which they have selected the means of working which is best suited to their individual purposes. . .

Perrin. . . has always preferred to understand landscape in the light of its structure. Rock formation, the contour of the overlying humus, the elemental forces of nature which push hills up out of the ground and wear them away again with wind and rain, make up the character of landscape which Perrin must evoke: mankind has little part of these spaces, even the meandering stone walls and the bastion-like cottages are weathered and tumbled and have reverted to ancient natural forms. . . It is the geology of the district which is under review, not the topography.’
