History
Máire Tugendhat née Littledale was born on 19 April 1910 to Arthur Charles Littledale (1879-1915) and Mary Josephine née Harris. A noted printmaker and illustrator, she trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in London between 1933 and 1935 and became particularly noted for her wood engravings. In September 1934, she married Georg Tugendhat (1898-1973), an Austrian-born economist and industrialist who had settled in England in 1921. Her children include among others the British Conservative Party politician Christopher Tugendhat, Baron Tugendhat (b. 1937) and retired High Court judge Sir Michael Tugendhat (b. 1944).
