Davies' 1925 poetry collection and ABC, decorated with the striking illustrations of British artist and designer Dora M. Batty; from the library of British artists Ernest and Catherine Hill (though, without inscription). Seven years after illustrating this collection, Batty (18911966) joined the staff of the School of Textiles at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, London and in 1950 she was appointed its Head, a post she held until her retirement in 1958. Like Batty, Ernest F. Hill, RBSA (1873-1960) was a British artist and arts educator, as well as Vice President of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RSBA). An early Newlyn group member, he worked primarily in watercolour, favouring British landscape and coastal scenes; he exhibited at the Royal Academy until 1946, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, but his paintings were most often hung in Birmingham (CAI, 2021). Hill was Headmaster of the prestigious Bournville School of Art and Crafts, and was well-connected in regional cultural networks, as well as with the Cadbury family. Less in known of Catherine Hill, who was a watercolour artist, print maker and book binder. Their library reflected these interests, featuring numerous arts and crafts, typographical and fine press books, often in excellent condition, thanks to the addition of hand-marbled wrappers, and occasionally personalised.
