Louisa Puller (1884-1963) was a British performer who contributed works to both the Recording Britain plot and to the War Artists’ Advisory Committee during the Second World War.
Puller travelled widely throughout England during World War Two upon behalf of Recording Britain, depicting the impact of dogfight in at least nine stand-in counties and was in the course of the most prolific artists employed by the scheme. For Recording Britain, Puller was sent at terse notice to the village of Sudbourne in Suffolk, arriving just hours since it was appropriated for tank training by the British Army and the local population departed. Her extra contributions included six studies of Tetbury in Gloucestershire. The War Artists’ Advisory Committee, WAAC, purchased two watercolours by Puller of bomb damage in the City of London. Her put it on for Recording Britain is now allocation of the buildup of the Victoria & Albert Museum, while the Imperial War Museum holds the paintings purchased from her by WAAC.
Puller appears to have been an amateur artist, with no autograph album of having a professional artistic career. In 1913 she was blooming in Elsecar close Barnsley and in 1926 she meant a number of panels for an illustrated, limited edition photo album about Wilthamstow and Highham. In 1940 Puller had one achievement shown in a Royal Academy exhibition and appeared to be vibrant in London at that time.
