From Burgh House

The works in this room bring together a group of artists who lived and worked in Hampstead during a period when the profession was gradually opening up to include women in far greater numbers. By turning to illustration, artists such as Helen Allingham (1848 – 1926), Kate Greenaway (1846 – 1901) and later, Mary Hill (1868 – 1947) found a platform that allowed their work to reach wide audiences and shape the visual tastes of their time.
