The Pigeon Ace Enid Marx My favourite of the clutch of children’s books Marco illustrated during WW2. A tale of a brave pigeon who carries messages for the RAF. Her delight in pattern and texture is evident and this was printed at one of the great lithographer, The Baynard Press. It was modelled on Phyllis Ginger’s Alexander the Circus Pony, also printed at Baynard.

Popular Art in Britain F D Klingender Detail from the A.I.A. Catalogue of the 1943 exhibition of Popular Art, beginning with Hogarth and running through until Victorian Times. This may have been of the the earliest exhibitions to celebrate Popular Art and I’d guess that Enid Marx & Barbara Jones would have visited. Noel Carrington certainly was a visitor and his subsequent King Penguin Book owed much to Klingender’s academic work, which Carrington also published. #popularart #hogarth #klingender #artistsinternationalassociation #noelcarrington #enidmarx #barbarajones https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsh76yzARBZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gcze0yi8988o
