A selection of postcards with designs by Jennie Harbour.
Jennie Harbour (1893-1959) was an English Art Deco artist and illustrator. She was born in Aldgate in the City of London on 26 July 1893. Her father and mother, Charles and Sarah Harbour, were Jewish milliners, furriers, and dressmakers and had both been born in Russian Poland. Their four children, Rose, Jennie, Lily, and Arnold, were all born in London.
By 1919, Harbour was working for Raphael Tuck & Sons as an illustrator and she worked for them and other publishers for the next 20+ years. There appears to be little more known about her life and career, but her work was highly regarded
Harbour died at 184 Kings Court, Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith, in November 1959 and her cremated remains are buried at the Hoop Lane Cemetery, Golders Green.
