Perry designed posters for the Underground Group and London Transport between 1928-37. She studied at the London School of Arts and Crafts and specialised in wood carving, though she became a designer of posters, pub signs and playing cards.
The first Motor Show was staged at Olympia in 1905 but in 1936 the venue lost out to the new Earls Court.
