Feeding the Winter Birds by Marjorie Miller

Illustrations from the Tillotson Hyde Collection

This watercolour by Marjorie Miller is one of my favourites from the Tillotson Hyde Collection. Miller was an illustrator of children’s stories and periodicals around 1924-1935. The elongated figure and composition demonstrate a Japanese influence.

James Tillotson Hyde (1894-1973) amassed a collection of some 1,500 drawings, most of which were original illustrations for newspapers, childrens’ publications and satirical publications such as Punch. In 1962, he gave his collection to York Art Gallery, where it now resides.
