Catalogue Note: Born in Hampstead, Freda Marston, nee Clulow (1895-1949), attended Regent Street Polytechnic and studied with John Terrick Williams (1860-1936) for four years in Italy. A prolific artist, Marston exhibited widely throughout Britain and was the only female artist of the era commissioned by several railway entities to produce lobby posters and carriage art. The present examples, delicate arrangements enveloped in warm light, clearly demonstrate the artist's abilities and appeal.
