Jessie King

Jessie King is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jessie King kept a tiny studio above a Glasgow teashop and filled every inch with ink and watercolor. She turned children’s book illustrations into delicate prints you could frame like jewelry, all soft edges and fairy-tale colors. Look up Apple Blossom, the 1908 print where a girl in white holds a single branch, and you’ll see why her work still fits in the palm of your hand.
