about the artist
Francis Marshall
Francis Marshall (1901-80) served as a midshipman during the First World War. Following his discharge in 1920 he spent three years at the Slade School of Fine Art. In 1928 he met Condé Montrose Nast and obtained work as an illustrator for British Vogue. His great interests were ballet, fashion, horses, London life, music, outdoor life, theatre and travel. His sketches in these subject areas were well suited to Vogue's publications and the 'Marshall girl', based on his wife Margaret, became a well-known figure in Vogue's illustrations. He continued as a freelance artist until his death in 1980.
