In 1900, Hassall opened his own New Art School and School of Poster Design in Kensington, with the help of his former teacher Van Havermaet; he numbered Bert Thomas, H M Bateman and Harry Rountree among his students. In 1908, the school amalgamated with Frank Brangwyn’s London School, but was closed at the outbreak of the First World War. In the post war period, he ran the very successful John Hassall Correspondence School.
For more information about John Hassall see part 1, and for earlier works, see parts 1 & 2 also.

c1900 Nursery frieze, set of six for Liberty’s
The designs were part of a wider collaboration between Hassall and fellow artist Cecil Aldin, “Art for the Nursery” aimed at making the appearance of children’s rooms more attractive. This resulted in an exhibition at The Fine Art Society in 1900, “Pictures for Children.”
These friezes were also displayed at the Leighton House centenary John Hassall exhibition in 1968. They were recently on display again at The Fine Art Society as part of the exhibition “British Murals & Decorative Painting 1910-1970.”
These original designs would have been printed as lithographs by Jellicoe & Co.. to be fixed directly to walls of children’s nurseries.

c1902 His Master's Voice
Long before RCA appropriated the pup-and-phonograph icon, Nipper the dog was the emblem of HMV (His Masters Voice). The concept was originally put on canvas by Francis Barraud, who noticed that his deceased brothers pet would actually sit and listen to homemade gramophone recordings of his late master. In 1902, the rights to the image were purchased by Victor Talking Machine Company, who used the HMV tagline in its advertisements from then on until being purchased by RCA in 1929. Here, we are presented with a model made especially for the music-loving traveller a seaside parasol substituting for the phonograph “horn."
