‘A Fairy Revel’ Print by Marjorie L Davies (1906-2007)

A wonderfully detailed line drawing print by Marjorie L Davies (1906-2007) depicting: ‘A Fairy Revel’. The works shows a great company of fairies dancing in a woodland glade and is signed and titled by the artist, as well as dated 1932. The print retains the original mount and frame with just the odd bit of wear to the edge. Marjorie Louise Davies was one of Enid Blyton's favourite artists, was born in Hampstead, the only daughter of Alfred and Louise Clements. She studied at St Martin's School of Art, London, from which she was hired by the Link Studio to illustrate My Magazine, Arthur Mee's 1920s periodical for youngsters. She married John Davies in 1935 and her career was interrupted by the war when she served with the Women's Land Army at farms in Sussex. After the war, she contacted Enid Blyton about her drawings, but the writer told her not to send samples unless they were first-class, which they were, resulting in Davies illustrations appearing in the Bedside, Holiday and Flower annuals, as well as the Enid Blyton and Sunny Stories magazines. This is a lovely example of her work and ready to hang.
