| Enid Marx (1902-1998) was one of the brightest design stars to emerge from the Design School of London’s Royal College of Art (RCA) during the interwar years. She was an author and illustrator of children’s books, a book designer, a printmaker, a textile designer and a painter.
The Marx-Lambert collection at Compton Verney features both work produced by Marx and a large number of pieces of folk or popular art which were collected by Marx and her friend Margaret Lambert. These then inspired Marx's own work -sometimes directly, as seen in the pair of ceramic wall-mounted cornucopia cases which inspired her 'Cornucopia' textile design.
