About MeJoan Hassall was born in London and studied there at the Royal Academy Schools. Her first commissioned illustration was to engrave the title page of her brother Christopher Hassall's books of poems "Devil's Dyke" (1936). She also illustrated works by Austen, Trollope and Mrs Gaskell. Hasall's works display her skilled draughtsmanship combined with a delicate sensibility.
