She was born in Berlin, the youngest of Rudolf Itzig, a Jewish clothier's five daughters. He died when she was eight.[2]

With the rise of the Nazis, she came to England with her second husband, Wilhelm Feuchtwang (son of David Feuchtwang, chief rabbi of Vienna),[3] and their son Stephan Feuchtwang.[1]

In 1949, she founded art publishing house Thames & Hudson and was one of the pioneers of the so-called integrated spread, in which text and images were integrated with each other in compositions. An expertise of hers was reproducing colours of art in high-quality prints, with one of her last efforts being the coverage of the 1985 Francis Bacon Tate Gallery. [4]

In 1953, she married Walter Neurath. He was her third husband,[5] and she was his third wife.[6] They are buried together in Highgate Cemetery (west side).
