***add to "Elizabeth Font" section***
Due to "Friedländer" being considered too Jewish during the time the font was completed in 1938, her surname was not used to name her developed typeface. Thus, the typeface was given the name of "Elizabeth", representing her first name.[1]
County Cook, Ireland[edit]
***edit and add to "Ireland" section***
In the early 1960s she retired to County Cork, Ireland, following her “life-long companion” Alessandro MacMahon, where with failing eyesight she continued working on graphic design and took up gardening. MacMahon worked with the Irish Shark Club when they were here. Friedländer ended up also working for them by designing letterforms for them to use. At the same time she continued to work for London's Royal Military Academy by commuting to London.[2]
She died in 1984 in Kinsale, Ireland. Her professional archive, which was given to her friends after her passing, that she developed in County Cook was privately donated to the University College Cork[3][4] and is still there to this day. The violin that belonged to her mother is one of the items that the Cork School of Music has in an exhibition and is loaned out each year to a student of excellence.[5] It was created in 1703 and traveled with Friedländer everywhere she went.[6]

Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
