I am writing a book of the life and work of an artist called Prunella Clough (1919-1999) who in the 1940s worked for ETOUSA in London, as an engineering draughtsman Her name was then Prunella Clough-Taylor. Her boss was George Maas. She worked with Ballantine O'Clare, Ted Christy and others in publications. I am keen to hear from any person who may remember her from those days.

Thanking you in advance for any help you could give.
