Illustrator: Barbara Jones (1912-1978)

Details: Barbara Jones (1912-1978) was an English artist, writer and mural painter. She created murals for hotels, restaurants, P&O cruise liners and the Festival of Britain. Sadly much of this work has disappeared due to the nature of where it was created.

However, many books containing her artwork remain, as well as ephemeral items such as this Greetings Telegram from 1957.
