Enid Marx / Margaret Lambert


Margaret Lambert and Enid Marx, English Popular and Traditional Art (1946). Really great book of art from English broadsides, chapbooks, tinsel pictures, Valentine docorations, earthenware, toys, pub signs, metalwork, etc. "It is the art which ordinary people have, from time immemorial, introduced into their everyday lives." Enid Marx is Karl's cousin!

    Nice book, I have a copy too. Her collection is great. If it's too far to visit the gallery guide gives a flavour - http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/collections/marx_lambert.aspx

      Thanks for the link, Andrew, and for the Peggy Angus recommendations. That gallery guide is great. Those handblock prints are so pretty.
