Jessie M King (1875-1949) was a Scottish painter and
book illustrator associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. She brought influences arising from the Glasgow School of
Arts
to both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements - she has been referred to as the
foremost Scottish book designer and illustrator of the 20th Century.
The Jessie M King Collection at Spirit of the Ages
includes art images from some of her seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided
for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.
King gained a number of awards for her work while still
a student at the Glasgow School of Arts and in 1902, her binding for
L'Evangile de L'Enfance took the Gold Medal at the International Exhibition
of Modern Decorative Art held in Turin.
