Daemen was a Dutch illustrator, graphic designer and glass artist who one suspects would be better known if she&#8217;d been British or American. The detail and composition of these illustrations is exceptional, falling somewhere between Kay Nielsen&#8217;s meticulous detailing and Harry Clarke&#8217;s stained-glass designs.
