Prior to WWI Dorothy Newsome-Glenn, while studying book illustration at the Birmingham School of Art, met fellow artist Kathleen Irene Nixon. They began working together on book and magazine illustrations. In the late 1920s they were commissioned by the Oxford University Press to visit India and produce a series of drawings. While there, the Indian State Railways commissioned them to design posters. Ref: Gray, Dictionary of British Women Artists, 2009; British Museum.
