Pauline Baines (née Behr; 10 September 1917 – 10 November 2020)[1] was a British book designer and typographer.
Born in Hove into an observant Jewish family with origins in Lithuania, although in adulthood she did not consider herself part of Anglo-Jewry.
She wanted to attend university as her brothers had done but instead went to Willesden Art School (now part of College of North West London) and the Central School of Art (now Central Saint Martins), where she trained in illustration and graphic design.
In preparation for the 1951 Festival of Britain, she developed displays for the exhibition ship HMS Campania.
At the beginning of their married life, the couple and a group of their friends formed a co-operative housing society and commissioned Ernő Goldfinger to design a small block of flats for them.
