Jennetta Vise Illustrations from Brighter Grammar (1953)

 

Here are some illustration by Jennetta Vise for Book III of the Brighter Grammar series of pocket-size textbooks, first published on 1953 by Longmens, Green and Co. Ltd of London. This is from the sixth impression of 1959. 

 

 Jennetta Vise was a British illustrator. Via Women In Comics:

Marjorie Jennetta B. Vise (b. Fulham, London, 9 September 1912; d. Chichester, 1979) started out as a sub-editor in the technical book publishing department of George Newnes Ltd in the 1940s. She set up a studio in London and began to get work as a freelance illustrator.

Some of her work was in British nursery comics. She drew "Bingo, Bango and Bongo" for Robin from 1953 to 1957, writing and illustration for the Robin annuals from 1953 to 1962, and "Andy Pandy" for Pippin in the 1970s. 

Her memorable, cheerful line drawings in the series are what caught my eye and made me want to share it.
