About the Item

To see more, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller." Gladys Williamson (1914 - 2007) Imperial Stationary Gouache 23 x 31 cm A design for an Imperial Stationery writing paper box. Gladys Williamson was a Welsh artist best known for her poster designs, for which she received many high profile commissions in the 1930s. Though little is known about the artist's life - indeed, as auctioneer David Roger-Jones noted, "it sadly seems as though she didn't like to talk about how successful she'd been during the 1930s", it is believed she studied at Liverpool Art College in the late 1920s, before working at an exclusive London fashion house. Here she made dresses for the Royal Collection - including garments for Queen Mary and Princess Marina. Regrettably, the artist left behind her successful career to move to the Netherlands around 1936, but the impressive body of work she leaves behind is a testament to, Roger-Jones offers, her "cutting-edge style."
