advertisement for the film group (and millers) J Arthur Rank, July 1955. A rarely seen image here of cameraman as angel - satirical - surely, Mr.Watkin. The drawing stresses the many locations across the world where the films are made. Faith Jaques is known internationally as an illustrator, primarily of children's books. This drawing is included to demonstrate the power and control of her drawing, and ability to create a balance of image and space for text.

She has illustrated works by Roald Dahl, Helen Cresswell and Ursula Moray Williams. She has illustrated her own tale, Tilly's House (1979).
