Jessie Marion King was one of the most influential and important Scottish illustrators of the 20th century. She studied with Fra Newberry at the Glasgow School of Art, where she developed her unique blend of Scottish mysticism and continental Art Nouveau style, alongside Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Margaret and Frances MacDonald, and Herbert MacNair. Throughout her fine art and illustrative career, King was in high demand with publishers, especially Glaswegian publisher Gowan & Sons, and Edinburgh publisher T.N. Foulis.
