British painter, cartographer, typographer and writer Phyllis Pearsall (Nee Gross) died 26 years ago today. Educated at Roedean (she had to leave when her father, Alexander Gross, founder of cartographers Geographia Ltd, went bankrupt) and later, the Sorbonne, which lead to her living and working in Paris, where she married Richard Pearsall; after eight years living and travelling together lead to the establishment of the Geographers' A to Zin Europe, she upped and left him in Venice while he was asleep. Working as a painter in London, she got lost while using the most recent map she could find, which was 17 years old. This prompted her to create a new map to include the latest redevelopments. The success of this map lead to the founding of the Geographers' A to Z Map Co, which she turned into a trust in 1966 to ensure its continued existence. She retired to Shoreham-by-Sea, where she died from cancer shortly before her 90th birthday, though her memory lives on through her commemoration on a local bus.
