A Slade prodigy who, as a student, worked on murals alongside Rex Whistler, Mary Adshead went on to be celebrated in Britain between the wars as the cleverest of all our decorative painters. This publication documents Adsheads full six decades of mural and decorative painting and includes previously unpublished designs for London Transport, Post Office, the British Pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition, the Tea Room at Luton Hoo, and Commonwealth Institute.
