Jessie Marion King (1875 - 1949)

Jessie Marion King

Jessie Marion King was a Scottish illustrator known for her illustrated children's books. She also designed bookplates, jewellery and fabric, and painted pottery. King was one of the artists known as the Glasgow Girls.

King was influenced by the Art Nouveau of the period, and her works correspond in mood with those of The Glasgow Four. Despite the influence of Art Nouveau, she was inspired to create unique designs where she did not literally translate the real world.

Most of King's earliest works involved illustration, but she also wrote books and was a skilled jewellery designer.
